Episode Details

CRNA education has never been more demanding.

As nurse anesthesia programs have evolved into rigorous 36-month doctoral programs, educators are seeing increasing levels of stress, anxiety, burnout, and mental health challenges among students.

So how can faculty better support students while maintaining the high standards required of the profession?

In this episode of Airway Exchange, hosts Nickie and Erin welcome Gerard Hogan, DNSc., APRN-BC, CRNA, FAANA, LtCol, USAF (ret.), psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, educator, and researcher, for an important conversation about resilience in nurse anesthesia education. Dr. Hogan discusses his research on resilience among nurse anesthesia residents and explains why resilience is a skill that can be taught, strengthened, and developed over time.

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

🧠 Resilience is a skill that can be taught and strengthened.

💬 Students should never be afraid to ask for help.

🌱 Small habits like mindfulness and reflection build resilience over time.

🤝 Faculty play a critical role in creating supportive learning environments.

⚖️ High standards and compassion can coexist in CRNA education.
