Anesthesia has been the most rewarding career thus far, and while I didn’t exactly take the “traditional” route to getting here there’s nothing I would change about my journey.. getting to share it all with you guys (TT first 6 years ago, and as of 6 months ago IG!) is just the cherry on top! #anesthesia #crna #nurse #crnaschool #creator

AANA DAY 1 Recap!
.
Day 1 consisted of a few things in no particular order: meeting some of my besties in real life, getting a lay of the land, and dealing with the fact I wore in non-broken in heels to a 4 day conference (never again….over 100 bandaids were sacrificed in the process). Energy and vibes were high and I was so excited to kick off the weekend.

Where were you when you realized the world was your oyster?

Who showed you your own potential?

I can never repay those who saw the beast inside me. I hope to be that for you and to remind you that you’re capable of greatness.

AANA Boston 2026 ✨

Hopefully my last conference as a student, and what a fulfilling experience it was. I had the opportunity to meet and learn from so many influential members of our profession while continuing to grow my knowledge and depth as a clinician.

The memories, conversations, and experiences from this week are something I will never take for granted. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to attend and to be surrounded by such a supportive, inspiring community of nurse anesthesia professionals.

Feeling motivated and excited for what’s ahead as graduation gets closer. #AANA2026 #SRNA #FutureCRNA

My post took 5 business days to be delivered… but here it is, my reflection on AANA Congress 2026.

As an immigrant, you live in a paradox; too foreign for home, yet foreign where you live. But with the nurse anesthesia community, I finally feel like I belong.

Grateful for a weekend of connection, especially with the Viet CRNA community. We’re building momentum. And I cannot wait to show you what CRNAs can do.

Whatever path you choose, be proud of who you are, own your identity, own your profession, and always remember where you come from.

{Our tribe}
There’s something about anesthesia school that changes you.

You walk in wondering if you’re good enough. Then residency hits & imposter syndrome gets loud. The long nights. The early mornings. The relentless studying. The financial sacrifices. The fear of failure that nobody outside of it can really understand.

Your family can tell you how proud they are. Your friends can celebrate the letters behind your name. But unless they’ve lived it, they may never fully understand what it cost you to get there.

Then you find your people.

You meet CRNAs who know exactly what those sleepless nights felt like. People who understand the pressure, the sacrifice, the doubt…& somehow still chose to keep going.

That’s what I’ve come to love about this tribe.

Anesthesia school was never the finish line. It was the beginning.

Bc this career has introduced me to educators, entrepreneurs, investors, business owners, association leaders, new parents, travelers, mentors, & people who have faced their own setbacks & still decided to give back.

Some may be influencers bc of their follower count.

But the people I admire most influence the people around them w/o needing a platform.

They remind me to stay present. To keep learning. To give more than I take. To build something that outlives me.

& maybe that’s the real gift of this career.

You start anesthesia school trying to prove you belong.

Eventually, you realize you were never meant to do it alone.

Find your people. Build your tribe. Tell your story. Give back.

The world is a lot bigger than the OR…& there’s still so much of it left to see.

If you can see it, you can build it.

Your #1 fan & supporter,
Johnny
