Imagine the impact a structured shadowing program can have on ICU nurses thinking about a future as a CRNA. That’s why today’s guest, Caroline Killmon, MS, CRNA has helped create a shadow program at her hospital in North Carolina and will share the experience so far. We’ll look at the positive ripple effects it can have on the nursing community, the success stories emerging from these shadowing experiences, and the impact a well-constructed shadowing opportunity could have on the future of healthcare. Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode: Background on how the program originated and why she saw the need for it. How to get everyone to buy in and how to spread the word. Processes that she would recommend for shadow programs. What do CRNAs stand to gain from doing all the work to run a shadow program?
