Repeat after me... I will be a CRNA!
In their own words…
Nursing students line up to share their experience from the Diversity CRNA 2024 HBCU Tour at North Carolina A&T State University.
Black CRNAs from across the country with anesthesia equipment listening with heart full of joy, priceless.
In nursing schools, many Black nursing students are not exposed to Nurse Anesthesia as a viable career option.
Repeat after me…I will be a CRNA!!
DIVERSITY CRNA HBCU TOUR 2025...
We launched the Diversity CRNA HBCU Tour on the campus of Howard University in 2016.
Most of the nursing students never met CRNAs that mirrored them nor touched anesthesia equipment. For the first time, nursing students were able to network with Black CRNAs & nurse anesthesia faculty before completing nursing school.
We returned to Howard University four more times at the Washington, DC campus. All followed by multiple visits to Coppin State University, Delaware State University, Southern University, North Carolina Central University & North Carolina A&T State University.
This is the evidenced-based award-winning Immersion Model for Diversifying Nurse Anesthesia Programs commitment to HBCU outreach!
Watch us plant nurse anesthesia seeds on a HBCU campus in 2025!!
