COVID-19 And Your Well Being

We are here for you!

As a CRNA, you face continued disruptions to your clinical practice and day-to-day life due to the uncertainty of the evolving coronavirus pandemic. Anesthesia patient care duties may be upended because of employment changes, increased pressures of working in overburdened anesthesia or critical care roles, and the necessary social distancing and physical isolation. The stress has taken a toll on healthcare providers across the globe.

As our nation attempts to flatten the curve, the AANA is committed to bringing you resources that support your physical, mental, emotional, and financial well-being. It is imperative that you take care of yourself and your loved ones and stay connected virtually or with social distancing to lessen feelings of anxiety, isolation, and fear.
