APRN's - The advanced practice registered nurse is prepared to (a) provide and manage care of individuals, families, groups, and/or communities; (b) participate in the development and implementation of health care systems that are accessible and responsive to the consumer; (c) use and collaborate in research; (d) develop, implement, and evaluate educational programs; and (e) provide leadership in the profession, the health care sector, and society as a whole. CRNA's - Nurse anesthetists have been providing anesthesia in the United States for over 150 years, beginning with the care of wounded soldiers during the Civil War. Today, CRNA’s practice in a variety of organizations including private, public, state and federal government institutions, and in the military where CRNAs continue to be the primary providers of anesthesia care to U.S. military personnel on front lines, navy ships, and aircraft evacuation teams around the globe. Anesthesia care settings where CRNAs practice include traditional hospital operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, pain clinics, and physicians’ offices. CRNAs administer a variety of anesthetics to patients as an individual practitioner or in collaboration with surgeons, anesthesiologists, dentists, podiatrists and other qualified healthcare professionals for every type of operation or procedure – from open-heart surgery to pain management programs. As advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) CRNAs are given a high degree of autonomy and professional respect. Currently, there are over 54,000 nurse anesthetists and student nurse anesthetists (SRNAs) in the United States with approximate demographics of 60% women and 40% men (as compared with 10% men in the nursing profession as a whole). Additionally, CRNAs are the sole providers of anesthesia in approximately two-thirds of all rural hospitals in the United States. CNM's - The Certified Nurse Midwives are primary health care providers to women and are able to perform physical exams, order laboratory tests and ultrasounds, diagnose and treat common problems, provide prenatal care, women’s health care, labor and birth care, as well as health education and counseling. Our Nurse-Midwives attend labor and birth for the patients in the hospital setting, working in collaboration with physicians trained in Obstetrics.
