Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Airway Exchange – Ep. 21 - The Science Behind Fair Testing with Dr. Yasmine Campbell
Q: One of the things that you mentioned in one of your presentations was autumn analysis, and so we're going to talk a little bit about that in terms of how you're tackling that and some lessons that you've learned.
Autumn analysis, or item analysis, is approached differently by educators, but the key is understanding what the numbers mean, why we perform it, and ensuring that exams are objective, fair, and aligned with the textbook and literature to truly measure knowledge rather than negotiation or external influence.
Airway Exchange – Ep. 20 – Teaching Resilience in Nurse Anesthesia
Q: Are there recognized strategies or repeatable practices that programs can adopt across different schools?
The conversation covers grounding exercises at the start/end of classes, quick breathing or body scans, written reflections, stress-temperature checks, and positive reinforcement to cultivate resilience across programs.
Airway Exchange – Ep. 20 – Teaching Resilience in Nurse Anesthesia
Q: What can faculty do to help students build resiliency in real-world classroom and clinical settings?
He emphasizes modeling wellness, integrating resilience content into courses, providing accessible support without acting as a therapist, and using tools like mindfulness and reflective practices to help students manage stress.
Airway Exchange – Ep. 20 – Teaching Resilience in Nurse Anesthesia
Q: Could you tell us how you became interested in resilience in nurse anesthesia education and what shaped your focus?
Dr. Hogan explains that the move to a 36-month doctorate highlighted differences in student resilience and mental health, which prompted his dissertation on resilience in advanced practice graduate nursing students and the broader need to address this area within nurse anesthesia education.
The Power of Storytelling in Healthcare with Mary Ellen Miller
Q: What were the biggest obstacles you faced in publishing your book, and how did you overcome them?
I faced numerous rejections and learned to tailor submissions to publishers interested in life stories and inspirational narratives, eventually finding a publishing partner through editorial guidance and online platform outreach.
