Nurse Anesthesia Resident (NAR) Workshop
Sunday, February 26, 2023
We invite you to join us for our 3rd Annual Nurse Anesthesia Resident (NAR) Workshop on Sunday, February 26, 2023. NARs will hear from experts and peers about the best ways to manage varying aspects of their CRNA careers.
The workshop will consist of three main topic areas:
- Tips and tricks to know while in CRNA school.
- Navigating the transition between school and the start of your CRNA career – whether that’s going into a small private practice, joining a large healthcare institution, or opening up your business.
- Taking care of yourself, not only while you’re in school, but into the future of a high-stress career.
Fee: This workshop is free to attend for all NARs.
CE Credit: Class A CE credits are not available for this workshop.
