And, for the win from Youngstown State University / St. Elizabeth School of Nurse Anesthesia Program

As per Wendell Parish: I passed boards today. It was a difficult journey. For 27 months I trained 3 hours away from my wife and 3 kids and only seen them on the weekend. Now that’s over. I’m home and a CRNA.

We will see Wendell and hear his story on the CRNA Panel at the Diversity CRNA Information Session & Airway Simulation Lab Workshop at Case Western Reserve University in May 2020! BRAVO!!! 

And, for the win from Texas Christian University Nurse Anesthesia Program

And, for the win from Texas Christian University Nurse Anesthesia Program! As per Dr. Ericka Frazier, DNP, CRNA who passed boards: Now time to walk the stage on Saturday as Dr. Frazier and transition back to the ‘real world’.

As per Dr. Frazier: 
By God’s grace and mercy I am officially a CRNA!!! I don’t have the words to describe this feeling, but after three mentally and physically exhausting years, I am finally DONE!! I could not have done it without my parents, my family, my sweet boyfriend, my friends, and my preceptors (now colleagues). Thank you for loving me, encouraging me, and believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself. We made it! Now time to walk the stage on Saturday as Dr. Ericka CeMone Frazier, DNP-A, CRNA and transition back into the “real” world.
