TANA's 87th Annual Meeting
October 11-13, 2024 | Franklin, TN
With our deep roots and proven safety record in the state, CRNAs are a proud part of the history of excellent care and comfort to Tennesseans. Patients across the state hold nurse anesthesia in the highest regard, especially in the rural areas that comprise the vast majority of our state. That’s why the theme of this year’s annual meeting is resoundingly CRNAs: A Tennessee Tradition.
For 87 years, the Tennessee Association of Nurse Anesthetists has been the major professional organization uniting Tennessee CRNAs. In 2024, we celebrate these traditions with a new conference location in Franklin, as well as offering engaging topics on ultrasound, leadership, billing, and pharmacological approaches to enhance patient safety and care.
TANA’s hope is that you will join us in this weekend of learning, networking, and honoring CRNA leaders in Tennessee who are part of a longstanding tradition of excellence.
CRNAs and Tennessee: You could say we go together like moon and pie, biscuits and gravy, or banana and pudding. Only better!
Join us October 11-13 in Franklin for the 87th Annual Meeting of TANA.
This program has been prior approved by the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiologists for 19.25 Class A CE credits; Code 1044964; Expiration date 10/13/2024. AANA designates this program as meeting the criteria for up to 3.00 CE Credits in pharmacology/therapeutics.
