The Tennessee Association of Student Nurse Anesthetists consists of a board of directors of student leaders that represent the six different anesthesia programs from across the state of Tennessee. This team of student leaders work hand in hand with the TANA leadership to cultivate political awareness, legislative advocacy and peer-to-peer networking among other professional and student nurse anesthetists in Tennessee.
