Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) are America’s original anesthesia experts. This highly respected profession traces its origins to the 1860s, when nurses eased the suffering of wounded soldiers in the Civil War.
That same culture of safe, responsible care continues today --- from operating rooms and surgical centers, serving patients and families faithfully --- to the front lines of combat, serving side by side with America’s military personnel.
Nurse anesthetists are among the nation’s most trusted professions, delivering specialized, cost-effective care to all patients --- from newborns to seniors --- for every type of procedure in all types of facilities.
Today, there are nearly 66,000 CRNAs and nurse anesthesia students nationwide, with more than 3,700 in the commonwealth alone. That’s why we celebrate CRNA Week in Pennsylvania each year. Because when seconds count … in war and in peace … CRNAs are there.
