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. | ||
