Ep 217: Doctoral Project Review – Optimizing Transition from SRNA to CRNA

Today we bring on our first DNAP candidate, Gerald Murphy, MS, CRNA, APRN, to share his Doctoral Scholarly Project and use this platform as the dissemination piece. He has focused his attention on the transition period for SRNAs moving into the workforce and beginning their career as CRNAs. This new independence can be overwhelming and a bit scary so improving that process and providing guidance for our newest professionals can be very valuable.    Here are some of the things you’ll learn on this show: Gerald’s background and why he chose this topic. (6:18) What was his experience when he finished anesthesia school? (8:24) The problem he found when reviewing the literature. (11:05) What questions did he ask during his pilot survey and what did he want to gather from them? (16:11) Are our anesthesia programs doing a good job preparing SRNAs for this transition? (23:40) What can preceptors do to help the SRNAs? (27:51) Advice for SRNAs.
