\"\"<\/a>(JRMC)\u00a0 Andrew Schott, a certified registered nurse anesthetist at JRMC, was recently elected President Elect of the North Dakota Association of Nurse Anesthetists (NDANA). The NDANA is a 325-member organization of North Dakota CRNAs. It is also a part of the 50,000-member American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA), whose mission is to \u201cadvance patient safety, practice excellence, and its members\u2019 profession.\u201d<\/p>\n

A certified nurse anesthetist (CRNA) is an advanced practice nurse who specializes in the administration of anesthesia.<\/p>\n

Schott\u2019s main role as president will be to run the spring and fall meetings, with topics including practice, legislation and budget. The AANA also meets once a year in Washington D.C. for legislative purposes.<\/p>\n

Schott explained, \u201cHere in North Dakota, it\u2019s not as much of an issue, but in some states the nurse anesthetists are still having independence issues.\u00a0 We have gained a lot of ground in North Dakota, so our main goal is to further and protect that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schott was encouraged run for office from the director of the University of North Dakota\u2019s nurse anesthesia program, Kevin Buettner.<\/p>\n

Schott added, \u201cI\u2019ve been politically involved in other things in the past, so I guess Kevin thought I would be a good fit.\u00a0 It is a big responsibility, but I decided to go for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schott is no stranger to big responsibilities. He is also a member of the North Dakota Farm Bureau Board, sits on the board for UND anesthesia candidate interviews, partner on his family farm, and a husband and father of three.<\/p>\n

Schott said, \u201cI am proud to represent JRMC. We have a very well-respected anesthesia practice in our community and in the anesthesia community. People from other facilities really watch what we\u2019re doing closely because we\u2019re independent, we are supported by our administration and we\u2019re doing a lot.\u201d\u00a0 He and five other CRNA\u2019s at JRMC assist with more than 3,000 surgeries a year.<\/p>\n

Schott\u2019s term as president will officially begin in November of 2018, where he will serve a two-year term.<\/p>\n
