Mentorship

“Rooted in Heritage. Driven by Care. United for a Healthier Tomorrow.”

A transformative space where ambition meets guidance. We connect emerging talent with seasoned professionals who have navigated the very paths you aspire to walk.

AKANA is devoted to mentoring nurses who have the vision of becoming CRNA’s, being a resource for current SRNA’s, devoted to connecting RN’s who need shadowing opportunities . We have matched up current nurse anesthesia students with one on one mentors, streamlining outreach and support especially as the SRNA’s transition into clinical settings. 

Finding a CRNA through AKANA is made easy by creating a locator within our website so that nurses looking for CRNA’s to shadow or simply ask questions about nurse anesthesia careers can easily search the map for those close to their location.

In the future we plan to host popup webinars for nurses and college students interested in understanding what it takes to become a CRNA.*

Mentee Testimonials

To many, Peter is simply a skilled CRNA, but to me, he is the mentor who transformed a dream into purpose and a stranger into a friend. As John Crosby said, “Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.” Peter has been all of that and more.
Glory has been such a guiding light as I prepared for my CRNA school application. I would have been lost if she wasn't there to guide me every step of the way.
