Welcome to the Atomic Anesthesia podcast hosted by CRNA professor Dr. Rhea Temmermand and Co-Founder Sachi Lord. On this show, you'll hear clear, clinically grounded discussions designed for nurse anesthesia residents and CRNAs who want to feel more confident in complex pharmacology, physiology, and real-world anesthesia decision-making.

Topics included in this episode:

1. Academic anchor habits for SRNAs and new CRNAs
2. Deliberate clinical practice, including “one skill per shift” and quick weekly case debriefs.​
3. Mindset strategies like a “wins log” to fight imposter syndrome.​
4. Professional growth through scary-but-safe opportunities, CRNA business basics, and exploring fellowship prerequisites.​
5. Personal boundaries around sleep, non‑anesthesia hobbies, and phone/social media use to prevent burnout.​
6. Early burnout recognition and proactive check-ins with mentors or a therapist.
