Welcome Students!

Letter from OANA Student Representative

Dear Fellow SRNAs,

I am pleased to represent you and be a part of the OANA board for the upcoming year. I am currently a Senior student at Newman University studying nurse anesthesia. Lots of exciting things are in store for us this year and I cannot wait to see where our OANA board will lead us. As the student representative, I look forward to learn a great deal from our CRNA leaders and to be a voice for SRNAs in Oklahoma. I hope to encourage other SRNAs to be active in this upcoming year as well as represent you the best I can. Please feel free to contact me with any ideas, questions, or concerns!

Best Regards,

Alexia McWaters BSN, SRNA
