Educating our Members
A PR Campaign began early in the pandemic which included ways in
which NC could use CRNAs to their fullest scope of practice to fight the
pandemic. The campaign included a NCANA conference panel
presentation outlining the use of CRNAs on the frontline. The resulting
videos were edited and used in state advocacy efforts.

This panel presentation was designed and rolled out at the
NCANA/SCANA combined virtual meeting.

Success hinged on number of attendees: over 400 CRNAs/SRNAs

              To some, the stereotype of a magnetic personality carries the
              negative connotation of an all-show predator who is constantly
              on the lookout for a sucker who will fall prey to a con scheme.
              However, a closer look at charisma reveals a more positive view
              of the importance of an alluring personality in dynamic
              leadership. Read more:

                 As more people get vaccinated, many are wondering what
                 exactly employers are allowed to do in reopening the office to
