How We Made a $10,000 Disney Cruise Conference Almost Free—And How You Can Too!
Dreaming of a Disney Cruise Conference But Worried About the Cost?
You’re not alone. Many CRNAs love the idea of combining continuing education with a Disney Cruise, but the $10,000 price tag can feel overwhelming. I get it—I was in the same boat.

Then, I realized I could stack credit card rewards and tax deductions to save even more—thousands of dollars more.
By the time I put all these strategies together, I had made my cruise almost free.
Here’s how you can do the same.

Post-Operative Nausea and Vomiting
Does PONV still haunt your practice?
I’m just curious, how many people have problems with PONV?
How do you treat patients to prevent PONV?
I recently asked a student to tell me the PONV risk factors that our patient had, and they could not! In fact, they couldn’t identify risk factors at all. I was completely floored that a junior student had no strategy on how to prevent PONV!
