About this episode
Season two of Grade 1 View begins with a transition featuring new voices, new perspectives, and the same commitment to honesty, community, and growth. As we hand off the torch to a new group of future CRNAs, founding host Olivia Conn, RN, DNP introduces the new host team: Nicolas Alexander, BSN, SCRN, CCRN; Levi Davis, BSN, RN, CCRN; Mackenzie Lane, BSN, RN, CCRN; and Kelsey Muir, BSN, RN, CCCRN. Through candid introductions and rapid-fire questions, you get to know the people behind the microphones, not just where they are in CRNA school, but the winding paths that brought them here. From non-linear career journeys and long-distance relationships to favorite comfort shows, coffee orders, and unexpected habits picked up during anesthesia training, we’ll keep things light as we kick off the new year.
