On This Episode:

Randy Moore, DNP, MBA, CRNA, left his role as the AANA CEO about a year ago to take over as Chief Anesthetist Officer at NorthStar Anesthesia. It was a little surprising because it seemed like a great long-term position, but the reasons for his departure make sense when you hear him explain his vision moving forward.

Now at NorthStar, Randy has the goal of giving CRNAs the best possible employment in every market they serve and he brings the leadership experience and the passion to get that done. That’s why we’ve invited our friend and colleague onto the show to catch up on this huge career change. On this episode, he’ll talk about the transition into this new role as CAO, his goals for CRNAs in the workforce, and the biggest challenges he faced at the AANA.

Here are some of the things you’ll learn on this show:

  • What attracted him to this new position at NorthStar. (3:06)
  • What pushed him to move from the OR to a leadership career track. (9:10)
  • The characteristics that high-performing executives possess. (12:51)
  • Some of the reasons behind the decision to leave the AANA. (17:19)
  • How he would structure the AANA CEO position to allow for more balance between work and time spent with the board. (25:18)
  • How he thinks he can impact the profession more positively in this new role. (31:57)

“We just have to pay attention that normalization of deviance is going to occur. Don’t make the shortcuts. Don’t put the pressure on other people because we are going to get it….Sometimes you have to take that step back and take a breath.”

-Randy Cornelius, DNP, ARNP, CRNA

Fighting for Inclusivity: How a CRNA Changed Her Community with Maureen McCartney Anderson

Our guest today has quite the story to tell about advocacy but it’s not the same advocacy we normally discuss on the show. Maureen McCartney Anderson, CRNA has been in-volved with her state association in New Jersey for a number of years and was on the path of advocating for professional rights, but that changed dramatically when her baby was born with handicaps. Now she’s pouring much of her energy into advocating for the special needs children’s population and making a difference in her community with the help of other CRNAs.

I started listening to this podcast religiously early on in my CRNA journey, a year before applying to CRNA school. The content in this podcast was one of my most helpful resources for getting into my first choice school, Wake Forest! It has also been a huge motivator for getting involved with the AANA now and throughout my career. I highly recommend this podcast to every prospective CRNA I meet.
