New Collection on Digital Past – American Association of Nurse Anesthetists

Yes, that’s right! Today we celebrate the birth of a new collection on Digital Past! Yeay!  The American Association of Nurse Anesthetists History Collection explores the history of the AANA and the nurse anesthesia profession in the United States with materials from the AANA Archives. There are some OLD photos in here, folks, I saw some from the 1910’s when I was browsing through, like this one of a group of NA’s at Saint Mary’s Hospital and this one from World War I, about 1915. Very cool! Imagine how great this will be for students of the medical profession, nursing, surgery, anesthesia, not to mention genealogists – lots of portraits and people pictures. And even though I will probably never be able to pronounce “anesthetists,” I welcome the AANA most heartily to the Digital Past family! Welcome aboard!

   We certainly need good CRNAs. It’s one of the few fields where demand seems to still outweigh supply. Sites like http://www.unitedanesthesia.com/ show evidence that every state is still looking for qualified CRNAs (and willing to pay for them too). Hardly something that every industry can claim right now.
