Florida Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (FANA)
Founded in 1936, FANA represents over 6,400 Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) and Resident Registered Nurse Anesthetists (RRNAs) in Florida. FANA advocates for our patients and members in legislative and governmental affairs and serves as a resource for CRNAs, the nursing and medical professions, hospitals, health care facilities, and others interested in anesthesia care.
CRNAs are specially trained and educated professionals who have been providing surgical anesthesia and pain management services in a variety of clinical settings for more than 150 years.
CRNAs provide comprehensive anesthesia care to patients before, during, and after surgical and obstetrical procedures and are the primary anesthesia professionals in rural and medically underserved areas. CRNAs practice in every setting in which anesthesia is administered, including traditional hospital and obstetrical surgical suites, interventional pain management, critical care units, and ambulatory surgical centers.
As a non-profit organization, FANA’s activities are funded largely by membership dues. To successfully achieve our mission, vision, and goals, however, FANA needs your financial help! We can’t reach our goals on membership dues alone.
Donate to FANA and help CRNAs to practice to the full extent of our training and education.
FANA is a 501c6 non-profit organization and donations are eligible as a business tax-deduction. Your donations will be used to fund FANA’s business operations. Specifically, donations will support key legislative initiatives, our grassroots activities, and public relations.
FANA is pleased to announce a new three-part series of Pharmacology webinars that meet the Florida Board of Nursing requirements for licensure. Purchase the three-part series as individual online courses, or as a bundle – and save!
FANA also offers the required two-hours of Human Trafficking training that meets the Florida Board of Nursing requirements for licensure.
