A patient’s pain-management questions don’t end when the procedure does.

CRNAs play an important role in helping patients understand what to expect from pain management during and immediately after a procedure. Before patients go home, they should also understand the plan from their surgical team, including how to manage pain and who to contact with questions or concerns.

This Anesthesia Answers article offers practical recovery guidance patients can revisit at home. Take a look and consider sharing it with patients preparing for surgery.

Our first cohort of DNAP students and their family and faculty came together Saturday evening to celebrate their entry into clinical residency with a white coat ceremony. This is a symbolic rite of passage that marks a student's transition from classroom and simulation coursework to advanced clinical rotations. It emphasizes patient-centered care, ethics, and professional responsibility in nurse anesthesiology.
