Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) Nick Hall was recently selected to serve as a new member to Nebraska Medicine’s Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) and Physician Assistant (PA) Council. Hall hopes to positively impact the governance and policy within Nebraska Medicine by advocating for Advanced Practice Providers (APP).
The APRN/PA council is responsible for much of the education of and advocacy for APPs through initiatives like APP grand rounds, peer mentorship programs, the APP Regional Continuing Medical Education Conference, collecting important data on current APPs, and more.
“I’ve been fortunate to learn from many different providers within this institution, and I want to help new providers be successful here,” said Hall. “I’m hoping to help further develop mentoring tracts and leadership opportunities for APPs at Nebraska Medicine.”
As a sophomore in high school, Hall had an opportunity to shadow a CRNA. He learned of how patients put their ultimate trust in the hands of a CRNA when going into an operating room for surgery. The lesson greatly inspired his subsequent career pursuit.
“I knew that I wanted to be the person letting patients know they would be safe,” Hall said. “I wanted to care for people in my community, my neighbors. It is an honor and blessing to care for them during their time of need.”
Hall joined Nebraska Medicine in 2008 when he worked as a nurse. He completed his Doctorate of Nursing Practice CRNA training from the University of Iowa in 2016 and joined the Department of Anesthesiology.
