Our UC NAP Wellness Committee has been taking a brief pause from tests, exams, and studying to give back. We created gift bags with words of encouragement for our RNSA1s preparing to take their first Machine OSCE, a big milestone in their CRNA career! Some of our fabulous students also volunteered with the 513 Relief Bus during the 2025 Black Men’s Wellness Day in Cincinnati performing blood pressures, glucose/AIC checks, BMI measurements, and cholesterol checks. Sometimes the best form of wellness is serving others and remembering why we do what we do. Our Bearcat community is strong thanks to our amazing students!

Last week our RNSA1s had a visit from a furry wellness ambassador on behalf of the UC NAP Wellness Committee. Anesthesia school is challenging, but we like to take small breaks to connect with UC therapy dogs and enjoy moments of smiles and relaxation.

For many entering the world of nursing, stress feels like part of the job description 😰. But Nurse Anesthesia DNP students Angela Dobos and Mariah Dutro are working to loosen its grip 💪, challenge the stigma 🧠 and bring a more holistic approach to mental health in nursing 💙. Drawing from both lived experience and research, they’re advocating for simple, powerful changes to redefine resilience in healthcare.
