Senate Resolution No. 96 recognizes the contributions of certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) in Texas during Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists Week, which was observed from January 19 to 25, 2025. The resolution highlights the essential role CRNAs play in the healthcare system, particularly in rural and underserved areas, as well as their service to U.S. military personnel. With their extensive training in critical care nursing and anesthesia, CRNAs are qualified to make independent decisions regarding anesthesia care across various medical settings, including operating rooms, general practice offices, and specialty clinics.

The Texas Senate commends CRNAs for their dedication to providing safe and compassionate care to patients, acknowledging their vital contributions to the health and well-being of Texans. The resolution concludes by directing that a copy be prepared in honor of these healthcare professionals, emphasizing the importance of recognizing their work in the community.
