Perianesthesia Nurse Awareness Week

(PANAW) February 4-10, 2024

Nurses working in preanesthesia and postanesthesia care, ambulatory surgery, and pain management are dedicated to caring for patients and their families. They are passionate about what they do as nurses. Every year,  the American Society for Perianesthesia Nurses (ASPAN) recognizes and honors perianesthesia nurses across the country during this week.

PANAW is an opportunity to educate nursing colleagues and the community about the professionalism and passionate care that is delivered by perianesthesia nurses every day. We’d love to see how you celebrate perianesthesia nurses in your unit or hospital. Send us photos of your celebrations and your nurses and we may use them on our website or in our Celebration Luncheon video during the ASPAN conference. Email photos to abpanc@cpancapa.org.
