The Tennessee Association of Nurse Anesthetists (TANA) is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to advancing the profession of nurse anesthesia. TANA advocates for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) as highly skilled anesthesia providers, promotes the art and science of nurse anesthesia, and strives to ensure the provision of safe, accessible, affordable, and high-quality anesthesia care.
CRNAs, who are advanced practice registered nurses with graduate-level education, play a crucial role in providing anesthetics to patients in various practice settings and for all types of surgeries and procedures. They enjoy a high degree of autonomy and professional respect, serving as the primary anesthesia providers in rural hospitals and for the U.S. Armed Forces. TANA works to support and enhance the role of CRNAs in delivering exceptional anesthesia care.
