Examples of ageism can be found in just about any profession but is this something that CRNAs should be concerned about? This episode, with the help of co-host Jackie Rowles, MBA, CRNA, ANP-BC, FAAN and guest Cindy Farina, DNP, CRNA explores how the cultural fixations on youth can not only undermine job satisfaction but can also nudge experienced CRNAs towards premature retirement. We also want to recognize the relevance of late career CRNAs, their contributions to the nurse anesthesiology profession, and the potential challenges they face.

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

What made Cindy become more aware of ageism in the workplace.

The value of late-career CRNAs and their contributions to the profession.

The factors that drive CRNAs to continue working or make the decision to retire.

The strategies for keeping CRNAs in the workforce.

What can late-career CRNAs do to maintain career satisfaction.
