H.R. No. 235 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The recognition of January 24-30, 2021, as National | ||
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists Week is a fitting tribute | ||
to the contributions of these vital medical professionals; and | ||
WHEREAS, Certified registered nurse anesthetists are highly | ||
trained specialist nurses who play an essential role in our health | ||
care system; nurse anesthetists were the first professional health | ||
care workers to provide anesthesia in the United States, and they | ||
comprise the oldest recognized group of advanced-practice | ||
registered nurse specialists in the country; and | ||
WHEREAS, Nurse anesthetists work across a broad spectrum of | ||
medical settings, and they administer anesthetics to millions of | ||
patients each year; their expertise is an essential element of care | ||
in traditional surgical environments as well as in a wide range of | ||
other medical facilities, including numerous general practice | ||
offices and specialty clinics; as licensed professionals, they are | ||
authorized to independently administer anesthesia care, and they | ||
serve as the primary or sole anesthesia providers in many rural | ||
areas and at many military bases, hospitals, and other facilities; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Texas is home to nearly 5,000 certified registered | ||
nurse anesthetists who have devoted their careers to serving the | ||
citizens of the Lone Star State, and they are indeed deserving of | ||
special commendation; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize January 24-30, 2021, as National | ||
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists Week and extend sincere | ||
appreciation to all those who serve as certified registered nurse | ||
anesthetists in Texas for the important role they play in providing | ||
quality health care. | ||
