In this episode, we talk about how the competitive mindset that gets us into CRNA school can actually work against us once we’re there.

We’ve learned that being open about our struggles, supporting each other, and focusing on the team makes the journey healthier and more sustainable. Whether you’re an SRNA or a CRNA, this conversation is about choosing community over competition.Support the showTo access all of our content, download the CORE Anesthesia App available here on the App Store and here on Google Play.

In this episode, we welcome Bree Brown, USAP CRNA to discuss emotional intelligence in the operating room.

In this episode, we sit down with ICU nurse and CCRN educator Rebecca Coulter to demystify the CCRN—why it matters, how to prep, and how it makes you a sharper clinician today and a stronger CRNA candidate tomorrow. We dig into moving beyond “if-then” tasking to true critical thinking, turning fear into action during high-stress moments, and using CCRN prep to stand out in interviews. Rebecca breaks down her concept-first approach and shares real stories that link physiology to practice so the “why” sticks. If your program requires the CCRN (or you’re on the fence), this one’s your roadmap to bridge ICU experience with anesthesia school readiness.Support the showTo access all of our content, download the CORE Anesthesia App available here on the App Store and here on Google Play.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you belong in this role, know you’re not alone—we’ve been there too.Support the showTo access all of our content, download the CORE Anesthesia App available here on the App Store and here on Google Play.
