AANA Peer Assistance

by NRSKarenRN Staff

AANA's Peer Assistance:
Overview and FAQs


The American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA) recognizes that anesthesia providers, because of their exposure and the nature of their work, appear to be at a high risk for substance abuse. To address these concerns within the profession, the AANA established the Peer Assistance Advisors as an Ad Hoc Committee on Chemical Dependency in 1983 to serve as a resource and support for nurse anesthesia practitioners and students.

AANA Peer Assistance - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)



Contact an AANA Peer Assistance Advisor about chemical dependency, substance misuse, and other work-related issues like harassment, violence and fitness for duty.
