New Jersey CRNA Leader Calls for Anesthesia Provision Changes

The president of the N.J. Association of Nurse Anesthetists is calling for changes that would allow CRNAs to provide anesthesia to hospital patients without the supervision of a physician in an op-ed column for The Times of Trenton.

 

In the column, Jamie Eisenberg, APN/anesthesia, CRNA, president of the N.J. Association of Nurse Anesthetists, challenges information from N.J. anesthesiologists, including commentary in a recent op-ed column from Ervin Moss, MD, executive medical director of the N.J. State Society of Anesthesiologists, and provides background details on the qualifications of advanced practice nursing/anesthesia.

 

The N.J. Department of Health and Senior Services has proposed to eliminate, within hospitals, physician supervision of advanced-practice nurses who specialize in anesthesia. The proposed pieces of legislation are A2268 and S2218 and are sponsored by Assemblyman Vincent Prieto (D-Secaucus) and Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D-Teaneck).
