Burnout is a term every nurse has heard, but it takes on a whole new meaning when you’re in the rigorous journey of becoming a Nurse Anesthetist. The demands of clinical rotations, challenging coursework, and personal life responsibilities can leave even the most driven future CRNAs feeling overwhelmed and emotionally drained while in CRNA school.

Recognizing the signs of burnout and learning how to address it effectively are critical for long-term success, not only in your journey to becoming a CRNA but also in your nursing career.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the topic of burnout with Dr. Lendra James, a distinguished healthcare leader and expert in burnout prevention.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
