    E164: Mastering the CCRN with Rebecca Coulter

    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.

    E162: Imposter Syndrome

    In this episode of Core Anesthesia, we dive into something nearly every CRNA or SRNA wrestles with at some point—imposter syndrome. We talk about what it felt like moving from the safety net of school into those first solo cases in the OR, the doubts that crept in, and how we learned to balance confidence with humility. If you’ve ever questioned whether you belong in this role, know you’re not alone—we’ve been there too.

    E158: Blood Pressure Management Pt. 2 (Premium)

    In Part 2 of our two-part series on blood pressure management in anesthesia, we shift gears to focus on the practical side—how to treat both hypotension and hypertension when they show up in the OR. We’ll walk through scenarios where permissive hypotension might be the goal, and explore the pharmacologic tools in your toolbox—plus when, why, and how to use them effectively. If Part 1 was about laying the foundation, Part 2 is where we put that knowledge into action.
