The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) choosing to quit their primary place of employment. Interpretative phenomenological analysis is the qualitative framework for this study. Ten CRNAs were interviewed about their experience of quitting their job. Interview transcripts were analyzed for common themes. Common themes were the desire for better work-life fit, the impact of stressful work intensity, and exposure to poor leadership. This study suggests that a focus on ensuring job fit for personal goals outside of work may improve CRNA retention. This study also provides practice implications for hospital leadership, as well as direction for future qualitative and quantitative research.

The objective of this study was to investigate perceptions and approaches to anesthetic maintenance techniques in ESS among anesthesia providers.

The supervision provided by each anesthesiologist is evaluated daily by the Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) and/or anesthesia residents with whom they work. Each of 9 items is evaluated (1 = never, 2 = rarely, 3 = frequently, 4 = always).

The announced cessation of publication of CRNA: The Clinical Forum for Nurse Anesthetists brings into focus the problems that confront smaller subscription-based professional journals in a print or paper mode. We are in an age in which there is a high level of competition for peoples' time and attention, in an environment where there is a danger of information overload. Electronic media are competing with print media, and there are advantages and disadvantages to both.
