In recognition of Juneteenth, AZANA celebrates the enduring contributions of Black nurses and nurse anesthesiologists whose leadership, innovation, and commitment to education have strengthened our profession and improved patient care for generations.

This year also serves as a reminder of an important milestone in nurse anesthesia history: 75 years since African American CRNAs were welcomed into the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA). Through pioneers, educators, and leaders, Black nurse anesthesiologists have played a vital role in expanding opportunities, advancing education, and shaping the future of our profession.

From the Harlem Hospital School of Anesthesia to today’s nurse anesthesia programs across the country, their legacy continues to inspire excellence, mentorship, and service.

As we commemorate Juneteenth, AZANA is proud to honor the rich history of nurse anesthesia and the individuals whose dedication continues to advance our profession and the patients we serve.

In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander month, JP Moyle is being spotlighted as a valuable member of our CRNA community.

1) Who are you?

I’m JP Moyle, a Filipino-Canadian CRNA at Mayo Clinic Arizona and a member of the liver transplant team. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from the University of Miami in 2023.

Before becoming a nurse anesthetist, I worked as an ICU nurse for more than 15 years across four countries—the Philippines, the United Arab Emirates, Canada, and the United States. Those experiences shaped both my perspective and my practice. Today, I’m dedicated to delivering safe, precise anesthesia in high-acuity environments while caring for patients during some of the most critical moments of their lives.

⸻

2) What makes you uniquely you?

Being born and raised in the Philippines, being part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and working as a nurse in four different countries exposed me to a wide range of cultures, beliefs, and life experiences.

Those experiences taught me how to adapt quickly, communicate with empathy, and connect with people from all backgrounds. They also helped me become more culturally aware and intentional in how I care for patients, support colleagues, and build relationships within the healthcare team.

⸻

3) How does your authentic self help shape the provider that you are?

My cultural background and life experiences shaped my work ethic, resilience, and deep respect for every patient I care for. Being authentic means showing up fully—focused, accountable, compassionate, and willing to learn from others.

It helps me build trust with patients and collaborate effectively with my team, especially in high-pressure situations where calmness and connection matter most.

As someone who understands the challenges of adapting to a new environment, I’ve also developed a passion for mentorship. I strive to support nurses—especially internationally trained nurses—as they pursue higher education and navigate their own professional journeys.
