Episode Details

For CRNA students, everything can come down to one moment: the board exam. But is it fair to measure years of training, clinical experience, and growth with a single high-stakes test? In this episode, Joshua Olson DNP, CRNA, CRNA educator, and co-creator of the Ollivate app, joins Erin and Louisa to discuss board prep and the use of artificial intelligence in CRNA education.

Here’s some of what you’ll hear in this episode:

🧠 Real learning happens through struggle and repetition

🤖 AI can enhance learning but not replace it

📚 Evidence-based strategies improve long-term retention

⚖️ Balance between performance, pressure, and growth matters
