Tracy, all nana plants have some brown on them - it's normal. Mine is growing inside & when a leaf dies I cut it off. Then the 'stub' of that leaf turns brown & if I want it to look nicer, I cut the brown off. Only take off/cut was is brown. If they are full of water they will just rot off. You sure you're not overwatering?
I wouldn't worry so much about the brown. Look at pics of other nanas - esp ones planted outdoors - the leaves are all tattered, but it's OK!
