| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize January 20 through January 26, 2013, as Texas Nurse | ||
| Anesthetists Week; and | ||
| WHEREAS, | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, nurse anesthetists practice in every state | ||
| and administer approximately 32 million anesthetics to patients | ||
| every year; they work in a wide variety of settings, including | ||
| large academic medical centers, small community hospitals, | ||
| outpatient surgery centers, pain clinics, and physicians' | ||
| offices; and | ||
| WHEREAS, All certified registered nurse anesthetists in | ||
| Texas hold a current state license as a registered nurse, have | ||
| graduated from an approved educational program, and have passed a | ||
| national examination; they may work together with | ||
| anesthesiologists or in independent practice; and | ||
| WHEREAS, They play substantial roles in service to the | ||
| military, the Veterans Administration, and public health | ||
| facilities, and they are the sole anesthesia providers in 67 | ||
| Texas counties, almost half of the rural counties that have | ||
| surgical or obstetrical services; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Texas Association of Nurse Anesthetists has | ||
| more than 3,000 certified and student members and is celebrating | ||
| its 77th anniversary in January of 2013; our nation and state are | ||
| indebted to these health care professionals for the vital medical | ||
| services they provide, and it is indeed fitting that they be | ||
| honored for the crucial roles they fulfill; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize January 20 through 26, 2013, as | ||
| Texas Nurse Anesthetists Week; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
| honor of these dedicated health care specialists. | ||
