It’s bold. It’s fast. And it’s the first of its kind in nurse anesthesiology. Sharon and guest co-host AANA President Jan Setnor welcome back nurse innovator Rebecca Love, RN, MSN, FIEL to introduce a groundbreaking addition to the AANA Annual Congress: the first-ever Nurse Anesthesia Hackathon.
Rebecca has always challenged the status quo and this year she's bringing that energy straight to the AANA with something bold and exciting. From patient safety to AI to perioperative brain health, the challenges are real, and so is your chance to make a difference.
Here’s some of what you’ll hear in this episode:
💡 What a hackathon is and why it matters in healthcare
🧠 How CRNAs will solve problems like brain health, safety, and AI ethics
🤝 The power of collaboration across different roles and experience levels
📢 Pitching solutions live to expert judges
🚀 Why this could spark careers, companies, and lasting change
