Before anesthesia, he worked as an ER tech and RN intern, then as an RN he worked in a trauma neuro ICU full time and worked PRN in the MICU, SICU, CICU, and ER. His previous anesthesia experience includes working at the Debakey Heart and Vascular Institute where he performed Heart, Lung, and Kidney transplants as well as all major aorta and vascular procedures. In December of 2020, Blaise graduated from LSUS with a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA). He chose to pursue his MBA to educate himself for future leadership opportunities and obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the business side of healthcare and anesthesia. He gives back to the nursing community through mentoring young RNs new to their career, providing guidance and advice. He also has a charity that performs service trips in areas of need abroad. These service trips provide critical access to surgeries otherwise not available. They also provide amazing learning opportunities for the volunteer RN’s that participate. When not working, Blaise is married with two children. His wife and kiddos are the reason behind everything he does. ------------------------------------------------------------------- FIND US ON: Website - https://www.americanmobile.com/nursin...
