becoming an anesthesia expert
AANA stands ready to help you achieve a fulfilling career as a CRNA/nurse anesthesiologist. With our affordable RN-APRN annual membership, you'll get access to exclusive resources and insights to help you navigate all the steps to becoming a CRNA/nurse anesthesiologist.
Get an inside look at the profession
AANA is a key resource and asset for navigating the ever-changing journey to selecting and applying for nurse anesthesiology school. AANA also offers helpful insights and guidance as you complete your program. As you prepare for your future career, you will learn from and network with current residents, practicing CRNAs/nurse anesthesiologists, and program directors.
Without AANA I feel my career and journey would be very lonely, very isolating. There is a wealth of knowledge, resources, and mentors that are easily accessible. And I feel like it would be an unnecessarily difficult uphill battle without the community.
