In this episode of Airway Exchange, Erin and Louisa sit down with Leah Gordon, DNP, APRN, CRNA, program director and assistant professor in the Nurse Anesthesiology Program at St. Mary’s University of Minnesota and author of The Provider Mindset: A Complete Guide to Becoming a Competitive Nurse Anesthesiology Applicant. Together, they explore what educators are really looking for during the admissions process and why GPA, ICU experience, shadowing hours, and a polished interview only tell part of the story. Here’s some of what you’ll hear in this episode: 🧠 Think like a provider ⚖️ Aptitude + attitude matter 🎓 GPA doesn't tell the whole story 🗣️ Don't over-rehearse the interview. 💪 Grit matters after admission.
