Raise Awareness with Fun Facts About Nurse Anesthetists

A major part of the point of CRNA week is to raise awareness about this incredible medical role. Many people have no idea what a Nurse Anesthetist is, much less the proud history of the field. Take advantage of this yearly event to educate the public by sharing fun facts about CRNAs. Here are a few basics to get you started.

A CRNA is a certified registered nurse anesthetist. CRNA are registered nurses who have specialized training in anesthesia, allowing them to administer anesthesia for a wide variety of procedures and surgeries throughout the healthcare system.
Sister Mary Bernard, a Catholic nun who worked at St. Vincent's Hospital in Erie, Pa. in 1887, is the first known nurse anesthetist. Since many hospitals were established and run by religious organizations during that period, many of the first nurse anesthetists were nuns. Alice Magaw was known affectionately as the “Mother of Anesthesia” by Dr. Charles Mayo; both of them conducted research and experimentation on anesthesia and its complications.
According to the American Association of Nurse Anesthetist, more than 61,000 CRNAs and CRNA students work throughout healthcare in the United States.
Yes, CRNAs are in very high demand. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the demand for CRNAs is extremely high with projected employment rates expected to grow by 14 percent over the next 10 years.
In order to become a CRNA, you must graduate from an accredited graduate school of nurse anesthesia. These educational programs take between two to three years, depending upon university requirements. Both master's degrees and doctoral degrees are available.
Most CRNAs work full time, clocking in 40 to 50 hours each week. Like other medical professionals, CRNAs typically work 8- or 10-hour shifts including nights, weekends, and holidays to provide healthcare around the clock.

Whether you are a healthcare organization employing CRNAs or a school training CRNA students, CRNA Appreciation Week 2024 is the perfect time to both recognize these important professionals and to spread the word about this absolutely crucial role in healthcare. In addition to thanking your CRNAs with gifts, consider sharing more information about the field on your social media feeds, as part of email newsletters, or as a component of your overall marketing campaign.
