Today we have the pleasure of hosting Ike Bartel, BSN, RN, CCRN, an aspiring CRNA from Kansas. Ike's journey from being an RN to pursuing a career as a CRNA is a testament to the power of mentorship in the nursing community. Ike has pioneered a mentorship program specifically designed to guide and support RNs on their path to becoming CRNAs. Today we’ll learn all about his journey, the inception of his mentorship program, and the impact it has had on the nursing community. Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode: Why he decided to establish a mentorship network and the vision he has for it. You don’t have to be a CRNA to advocate for CRNAs. Get plugged into the community to identify needs and partner with local leaders to help meet those needs. Why a RN to CRNA pipeline is important. How can registered nurses get involved with the AANA and their state associations?
