Get Gritty With It: How CRNAs Can Reduce Burnout and Achieve Long-Term Goals

Beyond The Mask: Innovation & Opportunities For CRNAs

Burnout has always been an issue for nurses and CRNAs but the issue has risen ever since COVID and the added stress that’s put on the healthcare industry. What if there was a way to help individuals guard against it? Today we dissect the concept of grit with Michell Smith, CRNA and explore how passion and perseverance are not just buzzwords but critical tools for CRNAs striving to achieve their long-term goals.

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

• Grit is perseverance and passion to achieve long-term goals and is predictive of success in a variety of domains.
• The four stages of grit: interest, practice, purpose, and hope.
• Higher rates of burnout in CRNAS since COVID but higher grit scores are correlated with lower burnout rates.
• An individual can grow and cultivate grit over time.
• How to set goals and prioritize them for yourself.
