Gov. Chris Sununu is facing many challenges, with a surging pandemic and its economic devastation at the top of the list.
The arduous process of choosing hundreds of appointees to staff state agencies to manage these crises is on-going. As president of the New Hampshire Association of Nurse Anesthesiology I would entreat Gov. Sununu to consider appointing nurses to move our state forward and help keep our residents safe.
This year has cast a light on the value of the nursing profession as never before. Nurses – particularly Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) – walked resolutely into danger to care for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
