We’re excited to sit down with a distinguished CRNA and a leader in our profession for our first interview. Jackie Rowles, DNP, CRNA, NSPM-C, FAANA has devoted much of her life to pain management and it’s taken her to the height of the profession. She’s currently the president of the International Federation of Nurse Anesthetists and formerly served as the AANA president, making her a pivotal figure in global advocacy and education.

Today she opens up on her fascinating journey through pain management and offers up incredible advice and insight that any young CRNA can benefit from.

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

How her father, a surgeon from Iran, inspired her to become a nurse anesthetist.
Her advice for students who want to be more involved in healthcare and leadership positions beyond outside of the operating room.
The different types of fellowships for CRNAs and what that process looks like.
How does CRNA school today compare to what schooling was like when she was going through.
What advice does she have for faculty to ensure students have resources for wellness?
What’s the scope of practice for CRNAs outside of the United States?
