| The South Carolina Association of Nurse Anesthetists is a full-service professional organization committed to the advancement of educational standards, practices, and public awareness of the art and science of nurse anesthesia. Founded in 1951, our membership has worked diligently to promote the provision of accessible, affordable, high-quality care for the citizens of South Carolina through continuing education for CRNAs throughout our state. If you’re interested in working to improve care and safety conditions for patients requiring anesthesia, our group can help. |  |
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) are licensed professional Registered Nurses (RNs) who have completed a post-graduate course in anesthesia and have successfully completed a national certifying examination. CRNAs enjoy a full scope of anesthesia practice opportunities, including preoperative assessment, intra-operative selection, anesthetic management, and postoperative patient care. This challenging and rewarding career enables the nurse anesthetist to select and provide general, regional (including spinal and epidural), and local anesthetics as dictated by the procedure, the patient’s health status, and the patient’s preference (when possible).
 |
The South Carolina Association of Nurse Anesthetists works closely with our membership, area hospitals, private practitioners, educational institutions, and lawmakers to ensure the continual improvement and advancement of working standards and patient care conditions in our state. If you are interested in working towards these goals or want more information about what it takes to become a CRNA, please contact us today. Or, explore our Web site to learn more about the services that our organization provides. |
