As advanced practice nurses specializing in anesthesia, airway management, ventilator support, and caring for critically ill patients, New Jersey’s APN-A’s are on the front lines of the war on COVID-19 every day, 24/7.
NJANA has compiled a series of resources and communications that anesthesia providers can use to keep up to date on procedural changes, new medical information, and of course best practices to keep themselves and their patients safe.
NJANA fully supports the concept of Sheltering in Place to help stop the spread of COVID-19 as healthcare providers strive to heal the infected and researchers seek a vaccine and a cure.
