Support for CRNAs and SRNAs: You are not alone.

Peer Assistance is support for CRNAs and student registered nurse anesthetists for all aspects related to drug/alcohol impairment, suspicion of drug diversion, and substance use disorder (SUD). The first step in getting help is to contact your state peer advisor or call the AANA helpline.
