  • Great podcast! Highly recommend to any nurse, SRNA, CRNA or airway provider

    I absolutely love this podcast! Jeremy, Sass, and Mark are incredible CRNAs who take complex, high level concepts and make them easy to understand and apply. They’ve helped me feel so much more confident learning about crisis management and preparing for when I’m an SRNA. I especially appreciate how they explain that not every situation like anaphylaxis presents like the textbook version, and sometimes you have to rely on critical thinking and process of elimination. The more prepared we are for... more

  • Till we meet again

    I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Jeremy Heiner and Dr. Sass Elisha at the Mentorship in Nurse Anesthesia Airway & Sim Lab at the Kaiser Permanente School of Anesthesia. From the moment they presented and engaged with us, their warmth, approachability, and quick-witted humor made learning feel accessible and fun. I was especially impressed to discover they’re not only leaders at KPSA but also co-authors of the Nagelhout & Elisha Nurse Anesthesia textbook—an incredibly admirable achievement.

  • One of the best anesthesia podcasts out there

    Jeremy Heiner was a guess lecture for our program a couple years ago, so when I came across this podcast, I had to check it out. Definitely one of the best anesthesia podcasts made by nurse anesthesiologists! The episodes are short but packed with useful info. One suggestion I have, I think it would be so helpful if you could add a few board questions relating to the discussed topic at the end of each episode. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & expertise!

  • Highly Valuable Resource!

    As an aspiring CRNA, I find this podcast incredibly engaging and motivating! Dr. Heiner, Dr. Elisha, and Dr. Gabot break down complex topics like pharmacology, medical emergencies, and CNE exam prep in a clear and captivating way. Their insights have given me a deeper understanding of the CRNA mindset, helping me prepare for what lies ahead. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone passionate about nurse anesthesia!
