Most anesthesia providers spend years building a highly specialized skill set, then assume the only path forward is “more OR.” But what if your CRNA degree could open doors beyond the head of the bed?

In this episode, Cole and Tanner sit down with Randy Moore for an honest conversation about the broader world of anesthesia careers.

Together, they explore:

• What “beyond the head of the bed” really means for CRNAs
• Career opportunities outside traditional OR roles
• How to think about your CRNA skill set as transferable (leadership, education, consulting, and more)
• Why exploring non-traditional paths can add flexibility, longevity, and fulfillment to your career

Whether you’re early in your CRNA journey, starting to feel the pull toward something different, or just want to expand your perspective, this conversation will help you see the profession with wider angles.

Perioperative antibiotics are part of nearly every anesthetic — but how often do we stop to ask why a specific antibiotic was chosen? In this episode, Cole and Tanner break down perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis from an anesthesia perspective, including selection, timing, common contraindications, and what to do when allergies or red flags arise. A practical discussion to help you move beyond “that’s just what we give” and make more informed, patient-specific decisions in the OR.
