Big things are happening in District 5!

On August 30, 2025, VANA’s District 5, in collaboration with the VCU Nurse Anesthesia - College of Health Professions, hosted the inaugural District 5 Fall Meeting — and it was a huge success! 🩺🍂

We covered a powerhouse lineup of topics including:
✅ VANA updates
✅ Emergency checklists
✅ Erector spinae plane blocks for thoracic anesthesia
✅ AI in anesthesia
✅ Midline catheter use
✅ Non-pharmacologic pain & anxiety interventions
✅ Perioperative antithrombotic management

It was an incredible day of learning, networking, and advancing our practice. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making our first annual fall meeting one to remember. Here's to growingstronger together as CRNAs and RRNAs/SRNAs!

Nurses first provided anesthesia on the battlefields of the American Civil War. During WWI, nurse anesthetists became the predominant providers of anesthesia care to wounded soldiers on the front lines.

Today, 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. This Memorial Day, please join with CRNAs across Virginia as we remember and honor all of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.
