In this episode of the Atomic Anesthesia Podcast, we talk with Dr. Hallie D. Evans, DNP, CRNA, APRN, CNE, a nationally recognized nurse anesthesia educator and clinician, about what it takes for CRNAs to step into the world of teaching. Dr. Evans discusses how her journey from clinical anesthesia to academic leadership began, the personal qualities that make an effective educator, and how to determine if you have the right temperament for academia. Listeners will learn the practical steps to becoming a nurse anesthesia educator, essential skills to develop when transitioning from the OR to the classroom, and what to expect in terms of salary, schedule, and sacrifices. With over 15 years of anesthesia experience and more than a decade in education, Dr. Evans shares her insights on balancing clinical practice with teaching, building innovative programs, and fostering future generations of CRNAs through mentorship and evidence-based pedagogy.
