The “Big Beautiful Bill” has created some concerns in the nurse anesthesia community, especially for future CRNAs who were left wondering what it means for their education, their financial reality, and the future of the profession. In this special episode of Grade 1 View, Greg Collins, DNP, CRNA and Michelle Canale, DNP, CRNA, APRN, FAANA join Olivia and Kevin to break down what the Department of Education's proposed borrowing caps really mean. They explain why the issue goes far beyond degree nomenclature, why CRNA education is so costly to deliver, and how the new limits could create barriers for students who simply cannot work during training. This latest legislation is just another reminder that advocacy for our profession is as important as ever. Current and future CRNAs need to be proactive in voicing their concerns and participating in advocacy efforts, and the AANA is there to help provide updates and actionable steps to help you stay informed and involved. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

Faculty members are the backbone of every nurse anesthesia program, yet their own wellness is often overlooked. Over the next month, we're shining the spotlight on wellness, and the first of three episodes features two special nurse anesthesia educator guests. Today, hosts Louisa Martin, PhD, CRNA and Erin Martin, APRN, CRNA, DNP sit down with Leigh Taylor, DNP, MS, CRNA and Crystal Hunnicutt, DNAP, CRNA, two leaders of the AANA Wellness Committee, to discuss the real challenges facing CRNA educators today. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

Welcome to the Choosing Wisely Campaign series! This is the fifth and final episode of our 5-part series exploring the ABIM Foundation's Choosing Wisely Lists. This campaign aims to promote conversations between clinicians and patients to avoid unnecessary medical tests, treatments, and procedures. Our last case-based episode focuses on a school-aged male presenting with new-onset enuresis. After a discussion of the differential diagnosis and evidence-based evaluation strategies, we apply recommendations from multiple AAP Choosing Wisely lists to create a care plan that is safe, resource-conscious, and child-centered. Throughout this episode, we'll highlight how ethical care principles—beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, and justice—guide high-value decision-making and help us avoid unnecessary imaging, laboratory studies, and interventions that add cost without improving outcomes. This familiar case in pediatrics is worthy of a rewind to relisten to a throwback episode that will reinforce your skills and emphasize the clinical diagnosis and management without added diagnostics, referrals, or medications.  This case closes out our series on Choosing Wisely in Pediatrics, but the principles we've explored should continue to inform your practice every day. If you missed earlier episodes, rewind to learn more about the campaign's background and listen to cases on fever and cough, gastroenterology presentations, and more.   Series Learning Objectives: Introduction to the Choosing Wisely Campaign: Understand the origins, historical precedent, and primary goals of the campaign. Case-Based Applications: Explore five common presentations in primary and acute care pediatrics, applying concepts from various Choosing Wisely lists to guide management and resource stewardship. Effective Communication: Learn strategies for engaging in tough conversations with parents and colleagues to create allies and ensure evidence-based practices are followed.

In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, host Diane C. McLaughlin, DNP, AGACNP-BC, CCRN, FCCM, speaks with Muhammad Mansoor Mohiuddin, MD, MBBS, DSc (Hon), FAST, director of the Cardiac Xenotransplantation Program at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, about his Thought Leader presentation at the 2025 Critical Care Congress, The Remarkable Potential of Xenotransplantation, and his groundbreaking work on that subject. Dr. Mohiuddin discusses the need to address the global shortage of donated organs and the use of genetically modified pig organs as a viable solution. He explains the science behind xenotransplantation, including the use of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology to delete immunogenic pig genes and insert human-compatible genes. The conversation explores the unique immunologic challenges of xenotransplantation, particularly antibody-mediated rejection and the need for tailored immunosuppression protocols. Ethical considerations include religious perspectives and public opinion. Dr. Mohiuddin emphasizes the importance of continued research funding and collaboration with industry partners to advance clinical trials and refine genetic modifications. Listeners will gain insight into how decades of research are transforming xenotransplantation and its potential to extend life and reshape the future of organ transplantation.

Ageism might not be the first ‘ism' that comes to mind in healthcare, but it's one that affects every provider eventually. Today's guest, Cynthia Farina, DNP, CRNA, RN, CNE, is an educator who has devoted much of her life to advocating for wellness, inclusion, and professional longevity. She joins Kevin and Charity to break down the subtle ways age bias shows up in anesthesia—from assumptions about “slowing down” to underestimating younger providers—and how both ends of the spectrum can experience its effects. Dr. Farina was recently part of an AANA webinar titled Respect Across the Lifespan: Tackling Ageism in Anesthesia, and her message today is clear: if you're lucky, you'll age too—so build a profession that welcomes wisdom, not just youth. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

"Any time the patient hears the word 'cancer,' they shut down a little bit, right? They may not hear everything that the oncologist or urologist, or whoever is talking to them about their treatment options, is saying. The oncology nurse is a great person to sit down with the patient and go over the information with them at a level they can understand a little bit more. To go over all the treatment options presented by the physician, and again, make sure that we understand their goals of care," ONS member Clara Beaver, DNP, RN, AOCNS®, ACNS-BC, manager of clinical education and clinical nurse specialist at Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, MI, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about prostate cancer treatment considerations for nurses.  Music Credit: "Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod Licensed under Creative Commons by Attribution 3.0  Earn 0.5 contact hours of nursing continuing professional development (NCPD) by listening to the full recording and completing an evaluation at courses.ons.org by November 21, 2026.

And the medical oncologists usually are not consulted until the patient is at a greater stage of prostate cancer. I find that it's important to state because a lot of our patients start with urologists, and by the time they've come to us, they're a lot further staged. But once a prostate cancer has been suspected, the patient needs to be staged for the extent of disease prior to that physician making any treatment recommendations. The staging includes doing a core biopsy of the prostate gland. During this core biopsy, they take multiple different cores at different areas throughout the prostate to really look to see what the cancer looks like." TS 1:46 "[For] the very low- and low-risk group, the most common [treatment] is active surveillance. ... Patients can be offered other options such as radiation therapy or surgery if they're not happy with active surveillance. ... The intermediate-risk group has favorable and unfavorable [status]. So, if they're a favorable, their Gleason score is usually a bit lower, things are not as advanced. These patients are offered active surveillance and then either radical prostatectomy with possible removal of lymph nodes or radiation—external beam or brachytherapy. If a patient has unfavorable intermediate risk, they are offered radical prostatectomy with removal of lymph nodes, external radiation therapy plus hormone therapy, or external radiation with brachytherapy. All three of these are offered to patients, although most frequently we see that our patients are taken in for radical prostatectomy. For the high- or very high-risk [group], patients are offered radiation therapy with hormone therapy, typically for one to three years. And then radical prostatectomy with removal of lymph nodes could also be offered for those patients." TS 7:55 "Radiation can play a role in any risk group depending on the patient's preference. ... The types of radiation that we use are external beam, brachytherapy, which is an internal therapy, and radiopharmaceuticals, [which are] more for advanced cancer, but we are seeing them used in prostate [cancer] as well. External beam radiation focuses on the tumor and any metastasis we may have with the tumor. It can be used in any risk [group] and for recurrence if radiation has not been done previously. If a patient has already been radiated to the pelvic area or to the prostate, radiation is usually not given again because we don't want to damage the patient any further. Brachytherapy is when we put radioactive pellets directly into the prostate. For early-stage prostate cancer, this can be given alone. And for patients who have a higher risk of the cancer growing outside the prostate, it can be given in combination with external beam radiation. It's important to note with brachytherapy, it cannot be used on patients who've had a transurethral resection of the prostate or any urinary problems. And if the patient has a large prostate, they may have to be on some hormone therapy prior to brachytherapy, just to shrink that prostate down a little bit to get the best effect. ... Radiopharmaceuticals treat the prostate-specific membrane antigen." TS 11:05 "The side effects of surgery are usually what deter the patient from wanting surgery. The first one is urinary incontinence. A lot of times, a patient has a lot of urinary incontinence after they have surgery. The other one is erectile dysfunction. A lot of patients may not want to have erectile dysfunction. Or, if having an erection is important to the patient, they may not want to have surgery to damage that. In this day and age, physicians have gotten a lot better at doing nerve-sparing surgeries. And so they really do try to do that so that the patient does not have any issues with erectile dysfunction after surgery. But [depending on] the extent of the cancer where it's growing around those nerves or there are other things going on, they may not be able to save those nerves." TS 15:26 "Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone, or LHRH antagonists or analogs, lower the amount of testosterone made by the testicles. We're trying to stop those hormones from growing to prevent the cancer. ... When we lower the testosterone very quickly, there can be a lot more side effects. But if we lower it a little bit less, we can maybe help prevent some of them. The side effects are important. When I was writing this up, I was thinking, 'Okay, this is basically what women go through when they go through menopause.' We're decreasing the estrogen. We're now decreasing the testosterone. So, the patients can have reduced or absent sexual desire, they can have gynecomastia, hot flashes, osteopenia, anemia, decreased mental sharpness, loss of muscle mass, weight gain, and fatigue." TS 17:50 "What we all need to remember is that no patient is the same. They may not have the same goals for treatment as the physicians or the nurses want for the patient. We talked about surgery as the most common treatment modality that's presented to patients, but it's not necessarily the option that they want. It's really important for healthcare professionals to understand their biases before talking to the patients and the family. It's also important to remember that not all patients are in heterosexual relationships, so we need to explain recovery after treatment to meet the needs of our patients and their sexual relationships, which is sometimes hard for us. But remembering that—especially gay men—they may not have the same recovery period as a heterosexual male when it comes to sexual relationships. So, making sure that we have those frank conversations with our patients and really check our biases prior to going in and talking with them." TS 27:16

Private equity is reshaping healthcare—but at what cost? In this eye-opening episode of Beyond the Mask, Sharon and Jeremy welcome back Daniel King, DNP, MNA, CRNA, CPPS, CNE and Jennifer Banek, MSN, MHA, CRNA for a candid conversation about how private equity ownership affects anesthesia and beyond. They explain how investor-driven models prioritize profit over patient care, share real-world stories of unsafe conditions and staff cutbacks, and reveal how financial engineering often leaves hospitals saddled with debt. Keep in mind, not all private equity is bad or creates the problems we discuss in this episode. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

It's only one month into the season, and we are already seeing pink slips being handed out, verbal shots being fired, and wild endings in the NBA regular season. But is it a lot of loud noises signifying nothing or will they have major ramifications in the league? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are back to round out the news surrounding souring superstars with low morale, the return of the random DNP's, and the firings of Willie Green in New Orleans and Nico Harrison in Dallas. Did they deserve to be let go, and was it possibly too little too late for both teams? Are the Kings on the cusp of a blow-up and our third coach firing of the season? Are some of the October front runners like the Bulls, Sixers, and Blazers falling back to their means or are they better than people think? Riche and Adam also talk about last Monday's wacky slate of games ending on buzzer beaters, Steph Curry torching the young Spurs in San Antonio, calf strains, and more! So suit up and take it in episode 366 with the NBA-Team!

What if we could bridge the divide between healthcare leaders who understand that team member safety and wellbeing is essential and those who view it as nice-to-have with a small shift in focus? That's what happens when Carlton Abner, DNP, RN, NBC-HWC, reframes wellbeing goals as protecting capacity – whether capacity to learn or teach, perform or recover, or empathize and connect. In this episode of Caring Greatly, Dr. Abner shares what it means to protect capacity for students at Kansas City University (KCU), including medical students. He shares how important capacity protection is for a generation of students who want to engage differently in their work, with a strong focus on passion and connection.Dr. Abner's 30+ years of healthcare and leadership experience began as an ER/trauma nurse with the Army where he led interprofessional teams within various healthcare settings around the world. Today he serves as the Vice Provost for Student Engagement and Wellbeing at KCU. In this role, he works to elevate and strengthen the overall culture of student engagement and comprehensive wellbeing strategies. Before joining KCU, Dr. Abner was the Dean and Lead Faculty for the Veterans Affairs Innovative Technology Advancement Lab at Cerner in Kansas City, Missouri. He recently retired as a Lieutenant Colonel from the Kansas Air National Guard, where he was one of only 89 Chief Nursing Executives nationwide, culminating a distinguished 25-year military career.Dr. Carlton Abner is a leader who cares greatly. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Stryker.

Behind the Screen: The Impact of AI Companions on Adolescents Evaluation and Credit:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/medchat84 Target Audience This activity is targeted toward primary care physicians and advanced providers. Statement of Need This will be a two-part podcast that will focus on the psychological effects of cyberbullying and AI companions. This will be specific to adolescents and teens. As a result of the growing prevalence in digital engagement, a by-product has been cyberbullying. The psychological effects of cyberbullying are unique in that they differ from traditional bullying due to the anonymity and permanence. Additionally, with the growing popularity of AI companions a second podcast will address this topic. Both podcasts will address the psychological effects and provide tools for providers to use to screen for subtle signs as well as resources. Objectives Define what constitutes an AI companion and differentiate from interactive AI-enabled toys. Discuss how frequent interaction with AI companions can influence psychological and social development of adolescents and teens. Identify behavioral and psychological signs that may indicate an adolescent/teen has or is developing an unhealthy reliance on AI companions.

Their conversation spans program design, health equity, AI validation in diverse populations, multimodal detection with circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and imaging, and practical strategies that boost adherence and impact in both academic and community settings.

"I think we really need to push more of our oncology nurses to get into elected and appointed positions. So often we're looking at health positions to get involved in, and those are wonderful. We need nurses as secretaries of health, but there are others. We as nurses understand higher education. We understand environment. We understand energy. So I think we look broadly at, what are positions we can get in? Let's have more nurses run for state legislative offices, for our House of Representatives, for the U.S. Senate," ONS member Barbara Damron, PhD, LHD, RN, FAAN, told Ryne Wilson, DNP, RN, OCN®, CNE, ONS member and member of the ONS 50th anniversary committee, during a conversation about the future of oncology nursing advocacy and health policy. Wilson spoke with Damron and ONS member Janice Phillips, PhD, RN, CENP, FADLN, FAAN, about how ONS has advanced advocacy and policy efforts over the past 50 years and its approaches for the future.

Highlights From This Episode Phillips: "I think that there are so many pressing issues, but I'm going to start with any kind of threats or legislation that's poised to take away safety-net resources. It's really going to set us back because we all know that, particularly for minorities and certain other underserved populations, they have experienced poor cancer outcomes for a variety of reasons, variety of socioeconomic reasons, lack of access to quality screening resources—you name it. When you take away those safety net resources and take away resources for people who are already underserved, uninsured, or underinsured, it also jeopardizes their ability to get proper screening, get proper follow-up, have access to state of the art cancer services. I think the lack of affordability of health care is a problem that continues to challenge us, whether you on Medicaid or whether you have limited insurance." TS 10:16 Damron: "Because ONS is so grounded in science and research—we're not just a clinical organization; we're grounded in scholarship, science, research, and publication—we're able to take this vast network of strong clinicians [and combine it] with amazing scientists. … We've had some amazing scientists come out of ONS; some of the leading nurse scientists of all time were also oncology nurses. So by combining this, we're able to make a difference at the state and federal level. So the advocacy work that I've been involved in, state and federal levels, really involved working with the ONS staff involved with advocacy and those scientists and clinicians who brought that expertise." TS 18:19 Phillips: "I think expanding the work around multiculturalism in oncology will always be important. Are there any new partnerships or avenues that ONS can reach out to or explore? Maybe there are other specialty organizations or groups—and not always necessarily nursing— because as we think about the determinants of health, we think about things like health and all policies. Maybe there are other disciplines or other specialties that we need to embrace as we launch our agendas." TS 23:28 Damron: "As nurses, just our basic nursing training, we get these skills—we see a problem, we identify the problem, we assess what we're going to do about it, we do it, and then we evaluate what we did. Does that work or not? That's how you make policy. So we were all trained in this. Then what you bring on top of that are oncology nursing experience, whether it's clinical, whether it's research, whether it's teaching, practice, etc. Those continue to refine those skills that are basic to us as nurses. We have this built-in skill set, and we need to own it and understand it." TS 30:25

"[When] a lot of men think about prostate exams, they immediately think of the glove going on the hand of the physician, and they immediately clench. But really try to talk with them and discuss with them what some of the benefits are of understanding early detection. Even just having those conversations with their providers so that they understand what the risk and benefits are of having screening. And then educate patients on what a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and digital rectal exam (DRE) actually are—how it happens, what it shows, and what the necessary benefits of those are," ONS member Clara Beaver, DNP, RN, AOCNS®, ACNS-BC, manager of clinical education and clinical nurse specialist at Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, MI, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about prostate cancer screening, early detection, and disparities.

To provide feedback or otherwise reach ONS about the podcast, email pubONSVoice@ons.org Highlights From This Episode "The recommendations are men [aged] 45 who are at high risk, including African American men and men who have a first-degree relative who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer younger than 65 should go through screening. And men aged 40 at an even higher risk, these are the men that have that one first-degree relative who has had prostate cancer before 65. Screening includes the PSA blood test and a digital exam. Those are the screening recommendations, although they are a little bit controversial." TS 3:42 "You still see PSAs and DREs as the first line because they're easier for primary care providers to perform. ... Those are typically covered by insurance, so they still play that role in screening. But with the advent of MRIs and biomarkers, these have really helped refine that screening process and determine treatment options for our patients. Again, those patients who may be at a bit of a higher risk could go for an MRI or have biomarkers completed. Or if they're on that verge with their Gleason score, instead of doing a biopsy, they may send the patient for an MRI or do biomarkers for that patient. ... These updated technologies put [patients] a little bit more at ease that someone's watching what's going on, and they don't have to have anything invasive done to see where they're at with their staging." TS 4:35 "Disparities in screening access exist based on race, socioeconomic status, gender identity, education, and geography. It's really hard in rural areas to get primary care providers or urologists who can actually see these patients, [and] sometimes in urban areas. So socioeconomic status can affect that, but also where a person lives. African American men with lower incomes and people in rural areas face the greatest barriers to receiving screening. It's also important to encourage anyone with a prostate to be screened and offer gender-neutral settings for patients to feel comfortable." TS 7:50 "I think a lot of men feel like if they have no symptoms, they don't have prostate cancer ... so a lot of patients may put off screening because they feel fine, [they] haven't had any urinary symptoms, it doesn't run in their family. ...With prostate cancer, there usually are not symptoms that a patient's having—they may have some urinary issues or some pain—but it's not very frequent that they have that. So, just making sure our patients understand that even though they're not feeling something, it doesn't mean there's not something else going on there." TS 12:53 "Prostate cancer found at an early age can be very curable, so it's really important for men to have those conversations with their providers about the risk and benefits of screening. And anyone that we can help along the way to be able to have those conversations, I think is a great thing for oncology nurses to do." TS 15:44
