Thinking about your next career move? A recent AANA Journal article exploring job satisfaction and turnover intentions among CRNAs is a timely reminder that workplace culture matters. Supportive leadership, scheduling flexibility, meaningful work, and strong team relationships can all shape whether clinicians stay, grow, and thrive. # #

Whether you’re evaluating your current role or considering what’s next, these are important questions to ask.

This week, we recognize the vital role community health centers play in improving access to care. Across Florida and across the country, CRNAs help expand access to safe, high-quality anesthesia and pain care in a wide range of settings.

Here’s to the professionals and organizations working every day to bring care closer to the communities that need it most.

Nurse anesthetists have been providing anesthesia care in the United States for more than 150 years. From the Civil War to today’s advanced practice CRNAs, our profession has always been rooted in skill, vigilance, and patient care.

This month, we’re celebrating the people, progress, and purpose that continue to shape nurse anesthesiology in Florida and beyond.

Florida’s hurricane season continues through November 30, and preparation should begin long before a storm appears in the forecast.

Review your evacuation plan, know your local shelter options and keep essential medications, medical information and emergency supplies organised. Floridians who may require additional medical assistance during an evacuation should also investigate their county’s Special Needs Shelter Registry in advance.

A little preparation today can reduce stress during an emergency.

Your Weekend at the FANA 2026 Annual Meeting!

Imagine arriving in Tampa on Friday afternoon and diving into conversations about the future of nurse anesthesia education, including the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality in the classroom.

By evening, you'll be catching up with colleagues and meeting new connections during the Welcome Reception with Exhibitors and Sponsors.

Saturday brings a full day of education covering advocacy, healthcare policy, burnout, opioid-free anesthesia, and more, with plenty of time to explore the Exhibit Hall before cheering on participants at the Annual Resident College Bowl and wrapping up the evening at the FANA PAC Party.

On Sunday, you'll head home with fresh ideas after sessions exploring ultrasound-guided neuraxial anesthesia, emerging analgesia, reimbursement, and just culture in nurse anesthesia education.

Three days. One community. Countless opportunities to learn, connect, and be inspired.

This World Hepatitis Day, we’re reminding patients that complete and honest health information is an important part of safe anesthesia care.

Liver conditions, medications, supplements, alcohol use and previous test results may affect decisions made before and during a procedure. Patients should always share their full medical history with their anesthesia professional, even when a detail seems unrelated.
Good communication supports informed, individualized care.

On Disability Independence Day, we recognize the importance of dignity, communication and accessibility throughout every stage of the patient experience.

Individual needs may affect how patients communicate, understand instructions, move through a healthcare facility or prepare for a procedure. Listening carefully and avoiding assumptions helps create safer, more respectful care.

Florida’s CRNAs are committed to meeting patients where they are and treating every individual with compassion and respect.

The future of nurse anesthesiology is shaped not only in clinical settings, but also through informed and consistent advocacy.

Florida CRNAs understand how healthcare policies affect patients, providers, facilities and local communities. Sharing those experiences helps policymakers understand the real-world impact of their decisions.

Stay informed. Build relationships. Tell your story. Every professional voice strengthens the conversation.
