Scott Rigdon,

ORANA President

2012 AANA Mid-Year Assembly (Washington, DC)

Once again an enthusiastic group of ORANAs membership traveled to Washington DC to meet with our representatives and their legislative staff. We were able to have very productive discussions related to the quality, value and cost effectiveness Nurse Anesthetists bring to the health care market place in the United States.

OHSU Student Fund

Oregon is proud to have 26 students in the OHSU Nurse Anesthesia program.  Twelve graduated in December 2011, and fourteen more will graduate in December 2012.  You can help promote and encourage these students in several ways.  A few of these idea are:
 
1) If you are attending the ORANA Annual Conference in Portland please take part in their fundraiser Friday, October 5, 2012 (more information to come). 
 
2) You can send a donation check to ORANA (please write "Student Fund" in the memo field).  Monies raised will be used to send two students to the AANA Mid-Year Assembly meeting this April in Washington DC. 

3) You can donate electronically.
 


4) Consider giving airline and hotel rewards to our students so they can attend meetings. 
 
5) Finally, Sponsor-an-OREGON-Student by paying their registration fee.
 
Thank you for your part in supporting our students!
