Nurse Anesthesiology Resident Association

This is a non-profit organization entirely run by Resident Registered Nurse Anesthetists (RRNAs). Our mission is to bring together residents from across programs, foster collaboration and networking, and help bridge the transition from RRNA to CRNA.

Originally founded in the New England/Northeast region, NARA has grown into a national organization welcoming residents from over 100 nurse anesthesia programs across the United States. We encourage all RRNAs to participate in our quarterly meetings, engage with peers, and contribute to a growing community dedicated to professional development and advocacy.

If you are interested in supporting NARA, your donations directly benefit RRNAs through scholarships, conference sponsorships, and educational opportunities. You can also explore ways to partner with us to support and sponsor upcoming events.

If you’re a nurse anesthesia resident looking to get involved, connect with motivated colleagues, and explore new opportunities, we invite you to join our mailing list and stay updated on events, resources, and opportunities!
