| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| join Texans across the state in celebrating January 26 through | ||
| 30, 2015, as Texas Nurse Anesthetists Week; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Nurse anesthetists have been providing anesthesia | ||
| care to patients in the United States for 150 years and are | ||
| members of the oldest nurse specialty group in the country; | ||
| formal training for this important field began when a school of | ||
| nurse anesthesia was established at Saint Vincent Hospital in | ||
| Portland, Oregon, in 1909; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, nurse anesthetists practice in every state | ||
| and administer anesthetics to millions of patients each year; | ||
| these committed professionals work in a wide array of settings, | ||
| from large academic hospitals to outpatient surgery centers to | ||
| individual physicians' offices; and | ||
| WHEREAS, All certified registered nurse anesthetists in | ||
| Texas are licensed by the state after graduating from an | ||
| accredited educational program and passing a national | ||
| examination; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Nurse anesthetists are the sole anesthesia | ||
| providers in numerous rural Texas counties; our state is indebted | ||
| to these health care professionals for the vital medical services | ||
| they provide, and it is truly fitting that they receive special | ||
| recognition for the crucial role they play in our health care | ||
| system; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend nurse anesthetists for their | ||
| commitment to quality care and extend to them best wishes for a | ||
| productive and memorable 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. | ||
