WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize January 23 through January 29, 2011, as Texas Nurse | ||
Anesthetists Week; and | ||
WHEREAS, Nurse anesthetists are the oldest recognized | ||
group of advanced practice registered nurse specialists and were | ||
the first professional group to provide anesthesia in the United | ||
States; each year they administer approximately 32 million | ||
anesthetics to patients across the country; and | ||
WHEREAS, All graduates of nurse anesthesia educational | ||
programs have earned a master's degree and have passed a national | ||
examination to receive the title of certified registered nurse | ||
anesthetist; and | ||
WHEREAS, Certified registered nurse anesthetists work in | ||
every setting where anesthesia is delivered, including | ||
hospitals, surgical centers, and physicians' offices; they have | ||
been the primary providers of anesthesia to United States | ||
military men and women, and they have been crucial in enabling | ||
rural health care facilities to provide obstetrical, surgical, | ||
and trauma stabilization services in medically underserved | ||
areas; and | ||
WHEREAS, 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 role | ||
they fulfill; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
Legislature, hereby recognize January 23 through January 29, | ||
2011, as Texas Nurse Anesthetists Week and extend appreciation to | ||
all our state's nurse anesthetists for providing quality health | ||
care to our citizens; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
honor of these dedicated health care specialists. | ||
