Podcasts about srnas

Welcome to the Atomic Anesthesia podcast hosted by CRNA professor Dr. Rhea Temmermand and Co-Founder Sachi Lord. On this show, you'll hear clear, clinically grounded discussions designed for nurse anesthesia residents and CRNAs who want to feel more confident in complex pharmacology, physiology, and real-world anesthesia decision-making.Topics included in this episode:Academic anchor habits for SRNAs and new CRNAsDeliberate clinical practice, including “one skill per shift” and quick weekly case debriefs.​Mindset strategies like a “wins log” to fight imposter syndrome.​Professional growth through scary-but-safe opportunities, CRNA business basics, and exploring fellowship prerequisites.​Personal boundaries around sleep, non‑anesthesia hobbies, and phone/social media use to prevent burnout.​Early burnout recognition and proactive check-ins with mentors or a therapist.

After a full year of conversations, shared experiences, and hard-earned lessons, the first season of Grade 1 View has reached the finish line. In this final wrap-up episode with our first four hosts, we're reflecting on what it truly takes to survive and grow through nurse anesthesia school, clinicals, graduation, and the transition into practice. Today's show is honest, personal, and often humorous, covering everything from the emotional toll of clinical rotations to the shock of becoming a “real” CRNA overnight. Find out what surprised us the most, the moments that nearly broke us, and the experiences that ultimately shaped our confidence, resilience, and identity as anesthesia providers. Thank you for being a part of the journey, but stay tuned for the next iteration of the show. We'll have four more SRNAs or RRNAs taking the reins for year two, and that announcement will be coming soon! 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:

Landing your first job as a CRNA can feel overwhelming but knowing what to expect and how to approach the job market can ease a lot of the uncertainty. Today, Kevin and Olivia sit down with Jay Cobden, a 2023 graduate of Rhode Island College and trauma CRNA at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, to hear about what he learned from navigating the process. After attending the AANA Annual Congress, Jay realized he had many of the same questions as other SRNAs about what to do next after school, and wanted to share that experience with others in this position.   Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

Addiction in healthcare is often hidden in the shadows, but it doesn't have to end in tragedy. This powerful episode features an intimate discussion about substance use disorder with Luci New, DNP, CRNA, FAANA and Rob Hartman, a CRNA who shares his journey through addiction and recovery. Now nine years sober, Rob reflects on treatment, rebuilding trust with his family, and his return to practice. He also offers a message of hope for CRNAs and SRNAs who may be struggling: you don't have to fight this alone. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

Mental health and substance use have been impacting CRNAs and SRNAs, but we've come a long way in recognizing and addressing these challenges thanks to organizations like the Parkdale Center for Professionals. This episode is a powerful one centered on healing, growth, and the critical role of peer support. We're excited to welcome Linda Stone, DNP, CRNA, peer advisor Jack Stem, and Bridget Petrillo, MS, APRN, CRNA to reflect on 10 years of progress since the founding of the Parkdale Center. They share powerful personal stories of struggle and recovery, the evolution of peer assistance in nurse anesthesia, and how initiatives like the AANA helpline and Parkdale's 24/7 peer-driven support have become literal lifelines. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

Most CRNAs graduate, get a job, and settle into the profession. But Dr. Erik Rauch proves there's another path—one of leadership, advocacy, and endless opportunity. In this episode of Grade 1 View, Erik joins hosts Kevin and Charity to share his 17-year journey from clinical CRNA to program director, pain management fellow, MBA graduate, AANA Board of Directors, and now Chief Clinical Officer of a CRNA anesthesia management company. You'll hear how economics and workforce shifts are creating unprecedented opportunities for CRNAs to practice independently, and why new grads who embrace skills like ultrasound-guided blocks and critical decision-making will be in high demand. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

CRNA school is one of the toughest journeys a nurse can take, but success isn't just about grades and clinical skills. It's also about wellness, belonging, and support. Today's guest is a passionate advocate for students in CRNA school and someone you want to listen to if you've felt stressed or anxious about the process. In this episode of Grade 1 View, Olivia sits down with Dr. Jorge Valdes, clinical professor and dean at Florida International University, to talk about what it really takes for SRNAs to thrive. You quickly understand how much he cares about the future of this profession as he shares why community, kindness, and emotional intelligence are just as important as technical training. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

The AANA's Annual Congress just set a new record—over 4,000 CRNAs and SRNAs came together in Nashville for the largest meeting in the association's history. In this special episode of Beyond the Mask, Bill Bruce, CEO of the AANA, sat down with us in Nashville to ​share ​what's ​happening ​at ​the ​national ​level ​and ​how ​it ​directly ​impacts ​CRNAs ​across ​the ​country. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

In this candid and wide-ranging episode, we sit down with Bill Bruce — CEO of the AANA, representing over 65,000 CRNAs and SRNAs nationwide — to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to lead the profession's largest and most influential organization.From balancing the competing demands of members, boards, and limited resources, to navigating constant political, clinical, and industry noise, Bill explains how the CEO's role is equal parts strategist, mediator, and pressure point. We explore how the AANA sets priorities, allocates resources, and adapts to both internal ambitions and external threats — and why the organization's absence would have an almost immediate impact on CRNAs across the country.Bill also shares his perspective on maintaining focus in an environment of relentless change, the leadership qualities that matter most in high-stakes healthcare advocacy, and how the AANA is positioning the profession for the future.Whether you're a CRNA, SRNA, or simply curious about the forces shaping nurse anesthesia, this conversation offers a rare inside look at the operational, strategic, and political realities of leading at the top.Keywords:Anesthesia, CRNA Leadership, Healthcare Advocacy, Professional Associations, Strategic Planning, Workforce Advocacy, Organizational Leadership, AANA, Healthcare Policy, Nursing LeadershipSend us a textFollow us at:InstagramFacebookTwitter/X

Please enjoy this pre-recorded session from our 2022 Student Conference. "Financial Planning Through CRNA School" - Henry Sink CRNAHello and thank you for taking the time to listen to what I want to teach! My name is Henry Sink, CRNA, a pseudonym. HENRY stands for “high earner not rich yet.” SINK stands for “single income no kids.” CRNA, as we all know, stands for “Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist.” I graduated from my CRNA program in May 2020 and started working in August 2020 after passing the NBCRNA in June 2020. I earned my MSN.  I realized from an early point in my nursing career that though I was making good money, whether at the bedside or as a travel RN, that it was not about how much I was making but instead how much I was saving and investing for my future.  As a full time CRNA, with over 6 years as a bedside RN and over a year and a half as a CRNA, I have taken what I have learned and am passing it on to the next generation of nursing students, RNs, and APRNs. This is in an attempt to educate these individuals about the link between their income and financial independence. I created my platform, all on Instagram, during the summer of 2020. I had just finished my board exam, the NBCRNA, and realized I finally had time back on my hands. I knew that I wanted to talk about financial issues in the nursing community but wanted to specifically speak to SRNAs and CRNAs about their current and future financial positions.  In the future, I want to work to create financial literacy and financial independence resources for individuals at all levels of their nursing career. Whether it is a pre-nursing student who is nervous about taking out student loans to pay for nursing school, or a newly graduated CRNA who wants to know how to navigate their workplace retirement accounts, investing in different asset classes, or paying down their loans from their graduate program. Support the show
