Registered Nurse Liaison

The Ohio State Association of Nurse Anesthetists (OSANA) RN Liaison Program provides registered nurse members with opportunities for leadership development, professional engagement, and service within the organization. Selected RN Liaisons are paired with an OSANA committee and work alongside CRNA and SRNA leaders to support projects and initiatives that advance the profession. RN Liaisons serve one-year appointments and contribute through project-based work, committee meetings, and volunteer activities.
This program is intended to provide meaningful involvement for RN members while fostering mentorship, networking, and early professional socialization within nurse anesthesia.
