More than 80% of rural hospitals rely on CRNAs to provide anesthesia care. It’s now time to make full scope practice authority permanent, so CRNAs can practice more widely for all who need it. Learn more at https://t.co/CcBWxrBISu

@timmoorenc Maybe now you will follow President Trump’s leadership where APRNs are concerned & remove red tape so they can practice to the top of their license. Trump wasn’t afraid to do what is right, he penned an executive order to waive supervision requirements. Pass the SAVEact!

[Paul Packard, DNAP, CRNA, FAANA @crna_packman]

@NCHouseSpeaker Maybe you should take some action on the SAVE act and stop preventing good bipartisan supported legislation from coming to the House floor.

Thank you for writing this common sense article.

In the Wilmington Star News: “When nurses are fully empowered to provide all the services for which they are trained, costs go down and patients receive either equivalent or better care than they did before.” https://t.co/h427gCv4OW #ncpol #nurses

@timmoorenc Just on an aside, you know President Trump supports APRNs practicing to the top of their license and waived CMS supervision requirements during COVID. Maybe you should let the SAVEact pass instead of playing politics with it.

"During a congressional hearing, AANA refuted the erroneous testimony from the AMA & ASA, pointing that out physician supervision of CRNAs has no proven benefits to patients or quality of care, but it does have proven costs & detriments." Read more at: https://t.co/R5vNSToRuY.

CRNAs are the solution to affordable and safe anesthesia care in Florida’s rural communities, preventing closures due to high costs. ⏬⏬⏬

🚨 In a monumental move, @AtriumHealth becomes the 1st health system to publicly support modernized regs for NC’s #APRNs.

Scott Rissmiller, MD, recently sent a letter to #NCGA legislators saying, “Atrium Health is now endorsing a path to full practice authority for APRNs.”

@armyemdoc @NARescue @fisherad1 Definitely where the MARCH algorithm comes into play.

Excellent observation, Travis. The SAVE Act is all upside—billions in economic impact, no new bureaucracy, no cost to the state, and increased access to healthcare. 80 bill sponsors + 24 diverse community partners. What’s the hold up?

[CRNAdvocacy @CRNAdvocacy]

Thank you @RepJenKiggans for standing up for #APRNs at yesterday's hearing. Your impassioned remarks about the high quality care APRNs provide our #Veterans were so powerful and important!

[CRNAdvocacy @CRNAdvocacy]

A huge thank you to AANA President Elect Jan Setnor and AANA President Dru Riddle, and all the #CRNAs who showed up today to support #Veteran access to care and advocate for patients and the profession. Thank you!! #CRNAdvocacy

@KodyKinsley So has the NCGA’s failure to pass the SAVE act.

The American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA) has a really cool New CRNA Career Exploration Platform called "Motion". Pretty cool setup for hiring CRNAs and for CRNAs finding jobs they actually want. Pretty cool so far!
