Today we’re looking forward to sharing a deep and insightful conversation with Anita Bertrand, a seasoned CRNA, about the challenging topic of nurse anesthesia diversion and recovery. Anita candidly shares her personal journey, emphasizing the importance of early intervention, support, and a compassionate approach to addressing the complex issues that lead to diversion.

 

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

  • What leads a struggling CRNA into diversion?
  • The signs and the indicators that a nurse anesthetist might encounter in the workplace, which could lead them to consider diversion.
  • Resources and organizations you can turn to for support.
  • What are the processes that a state board typically follows and what impact could it have on someone’s career?
  • Her personal journey and the struggles that she has been able to overcome.
