First introduced in 2000, National Nurse Anesthetists Week recognizes the profession of nurse anesthesia. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) across the country promote the profession with posters, billboards, table tents, passing out brochures and buttons, seeking out the media to bring awareness to the profession, and requesting proclamations from local and state government officials. The pages linked to the right provide ideas and record of what CRNAs have done to promote nurse anesthesia over the years.
