What CRNA program did you attend?

Super helpful! Thank you so much! I’m going back to watch all your videos lol. I’ve been a nurse for 9 years and 5 of those years I work at an ambulatory surgery center and I worked along side/and assist CRNAs and anesthesiologists as an OR circulator. During this time I’ve been picking a lot of CRNAs brains about what they do and how to become one. I just applied for an ICU position to get my journey started. This video has been the most helpful resource ever! All the CRNAs I work with have been doing it for 10 plus years and now requirements are different. I’m extremely nervous and kind of intimidated but I know with God I can do all things and I will accomplish this goal. Thank you so much for sharing!

Hi I will be 37 is it to late to get into nursing?

❤

ICU RN x3 yrs.. 3.55 GPA studying for CCRN I’m currently looking into what schools are the most affordable, as I’d like to take out the least amount of loans possible. any suggestions? preferably ones that would waive GRE or chemistry requirement.

Very informative. Appreciate the information. Do me a favor count how many times you say, "You Know" in this presentation.

Watching a video titled “The reasons to not become a CRNA” on a channel named “Thrive CRNA” 😂 thank you for the video

Very informative video thank you!

Does your friend you mentioned have a KZbin Channel ?

Do you think crnas will overtake anesthesiologist anytime soon? They do about the same and cost companies and hospitals less money. Do you see an increase in salary in the years to come?

Hi, it's always a pleasure watching your videos. I'm deciding between PMHNP or CRNA. I am 37 years old, married with 2 kids, and I only need to get hired as an ICU RN and gain experience. I would love to do the CRNA route, but I have a lot of financial responsibilities that I don't think I could manage while in CRNA school, since I won't be working. Also, is there any remediation if an individual fails a class while in CRNA school? Ultimately, I would like your opinion on whether CRNA school might not be the best route for me with my current situation? Sorry if this is a weird question.

Thank you so much for your content, you answer so many questions I always have

👍🏾

Had to watch on 1.5x extrapolated info on min 7:00

Hello. I’m currently a nurse. I have two bachelors degrees one in nursing and bachelor’s degree in science. My science classes such as organic chemistry and biochemistry were not that strong. I will like to apply to medical school. But I’m not 100% if I would make a strong candidate.

I’m so confused. I’m just realizing things have changed. I’m seeing we have to obtain a DNP for all crna’s. Not sure how true this is. I just finished my BSN and I’m not sure what to do next.

Christine, is there a way to become a CRNA while working? I already have a masters in business because it was easy but dislike what I do. It seems I will have to get a BSN first. What are your thoughts?

CRNA vs CAA Which one to choose?

I only have 18 years of OB RN Msn…do I need ICU experience prior ?

I’m in school to become a CRNA. This is my plan and I think it’s the quickest route! Pre req, ASN, work toward your BSN AND be a ICU nurse at the same time. Then CRNA school. That equals 7.5 years !

I am from canada but would like to know the average cost of studying accelerated bachelor nursing degree in usa? I’m looking for cheaper colleges with any scholarship; greatly appreciated if you have any suggestions. Thank you

Mam I’m an international student currently doing Bsc nursing. So according to the video I have to crack the NCLEX exam to work as a registered nurse in states to get ICU experience and after that I have to apply for CRNA school right? I hope I wrote the steps correctly. Plz make sure to pay attention. Thank you.

I didn’t do nursing school because of sleeping! So how many hours you slept during school in typical semester?

Hi I’m a male nursing major in my second year of college starting my first semester of nursing school next semester. Any words of advice for me? Most of your videos already cover a lot of good info.

Hi. I am taking prerequisites for nursing school. I have an MBA, but decided that anesthesia is what I want to do with the rest of my life.

You inspire me !!!!

Hi! I’m in nursing school and want to prepare for CRNA school right now. I want to become a CRNA a few years after graduating and I would love to know what’s your advice for me. Future black male nurse here!!

Am keenly interested in the crna course but am abroad and above 40 years, will this affect me negatively, have already done NCLEX and passed and licensure done as well

I love the video, can you make a video on things we can do while in LPN/nursing school to start building our resume

Hi I'd really need to have a conversation with you regarding this I don't know if its okay by you I'd really appreciate if you see this and reply me

I’m currently a pct, in school. How would I go about shadowing a crna.

Sometimes, things are not meant to be. Same here, applied 3 schools, 3.6 GPA BSN, 4.0 GPA MSN, certified in CCRN, VA-BC, CRNI. Shadowed CRNA in the OR for two weeks, and I did not like their working environment. I am vascular nurse, doing procedures, not an NP, but been pulling yearly salary $250K. Thinking about CRNA again but I am getting that point of my nursing career where I am like, ehhh. Secret to being happy in life… love what you do, travel, and invest. With my stocks, I am close to retiring at age 55. Don’t chase the money, let it chase you or shall I say, put that bitch to work.

Hi please I'm trying to reach out to someone experienced like you, I don't know if its okay to have a conversation with you ,I'm Vicky by name

Hi please I really do need your help talking to someone experienced about my nursing career, I'm a female, I don't know if its okay if we could talk on a call. I need an upper hand or guide

Always black people who make videos like these

Hello. Please I have a question Can a CRNA from another country work as a CRNA in the United States? Or there are exams they'll write to get license to work in the US?

@ThriveCRNA Hi there 😊 don't know if you remember meet but you helped guide my patch in to ICU as a new grad 3 years ago. Since then I have done 1yr of neuro ICU, 2 years of trauma ICU and currently learning burns ICU in between trauma shifts. I graduated with my BSN in December. GPA 3.5, my goal was to apply to CRNA this year unfortunately I lost a family member and became severely ill for over 3months so the deadline is approaching rather quickly. So this year I plan to shadow a CRNA as well as study for the GRE and CCRN so that I can apply next year. I haven't been involved in the hospital leadership wise because of school. However, I did get sent to the state capital In D.C to represent my school which resulted in the school receiving 34.5 million dollars and I won the national district association for nurses award and scholarship. Are there anything else you would suggest to prepare me? What types of materials should I be studying in addition to prepare for CRNA interviews

tnx for the info. watching you from abroad and I graduated with a foreign BSN. I am struggling to pass NCLEX and move to USA. I am 37 y/o. Do you think that age could be an issue to acceptance for crna school by the time I reach over 40 to 45 y/o? Considering that it may take me a bit of time to build and boost my resume. Thank you.

Please can a nurse with foreign BSN become a crna in the USA

how can you become a crna if you have a bachelor's degree in midwifery?

It’s been a minute since I got here😌I’m back now❤️

Starting from scratch, wouldn’t it be 8-9 years. Even in the example you gave of 4 years BSN, 2 years ICU experience and 3 year of CRNA school, that’s 9 years so was there another factor making it 12?

Unfortunately, when I was a child I was exposed to lead paint all over my legs. That exposure dulled my cognitive abilities, affecting my reading skills. When I am in classes pertaining to my job, I am always the last one finishing my test. It is embarrassing! But, I love to watch other people's accomplishments! Congratulations and continued success!

After how many years experience can CRNAs get jobs that pay over $200,000?

Ob crna is only typically two 24 hour shifts per week?

Is it possible to work as just an OB Crna? That’s the only area i’m interested in. Would it be realistic to go into CRNA school just for this? Are there enough jobs for Ob Crnas or would i be expected to work in other units? Thank you!

Thank you for this motivating video. How much should an aspiring CRNA student save before getting into the program, with regards to tuition fees and cost of living? Secondly regarding Job flexibility, Can a CRNA work day shifts like 8- hours daily for the number of days that makes up the shift?

Do you think earning an ADN first or going straight to a BSN is a faster way to earn a CRNA? Thank you for all your videos btw!

I appreciate you !!!!

Thank you for your continued support and advice…
