As we celebrate this milestone, we recognize the generations of CRNAs whose dedication has advanced our profession and strengthened patient care across the country.

NHANA is proud to support efforts that advance the nursing profession and protect pathways to advanced practice education.

This article from the AANA highlights the Nurse Forward lawsuit, a collaborative effort by national nursing organizations challenging the Department of Education's designation of post-baccalaureate nursing programs. The outcome has important implications for the future of nursing education, workforce development, and access to care.

Access to anesthesia care matters, especially in rural communities. CRNAs help ensure patients across the country can receive the care they need close to home.

Caring for patients when they’re at their most vulnerable takes more than clinical skill alone. It takes trust, compassion, attention to detail, and the ability to stay calm when it matters most. Proud of the CRNAs who provide that care every single day. 💙
