One of the biggest events in our profession is coming up in a few weeks, and the AANA Annual Congress in Boston will provide countless opportunities for RNs and future CRNAs. With educational sessions, networking opportunities, career resources, workshops, and special events happening throughout the week, having a plan can make a major difference. With so much going on throughout the week, we thought it would be a perfect time to bring on some people who make all of this happen. So today Levi sits down with Hallie Evans, DNP, CRNA - AANA Senior Director of Education and Professional Development, Julie Rossberger, AANA Manager of Member Engagement and Experience, and Becky Frese, AANA Professional Practice Specialist to highlight the programming created specifically for RNs and nurse anesthesia residents.
