Watching this in my last semester of my BSN. Never too early to start preparing. Thank you so much your channel is so useful!!!

earning 30000 a month with just masters degree its amazing🎉

Great commentary!

This was very informative. I’m in nursing school right now, ABSN and although I’m studying for 8-12hrs some days I feel as if I may not be studying correctly. I have a deep understanding of the material, especially in conversation with my peers but that doesn’t seem to translate on the exams. Any advice?

I am so glad I came across your channel. I’ve been an FNP for 8 years. Working on going back to school to become a CRNA.

Hi David, I'm a FNP for 4 years. I'm thinking about returning back to being a RN in the ICU to get my experience to apply for CRNA school. Do you recommend this route? I have never worked in an ICU before, but has been in Med-Surg for 7 years. Thanks for your knowledge.

What’s up bro, I donated to the CRNA Foundation, again Thursday, I really enjoy donating to the CRNA Foundation, since it was hard for me to go to college because of my cerebral palsy, I really wanted to be a CRNA, it takes a special person to be a CRNA or anesthesiologist, and you’re one of them

Will be applying in just a few short months. Beyond excited and am working so hard to build my resume. Cvicu nurse to Crna is my plan!

I loved this. Very informative!

Love your videos. Did you take out loans to complete CRNA school? Also, do you suggest going to NP school first and then CRNA school to be able to pay for school?

Do crna programs consider critical transport nursing “icu experience”? It’s literally the same as working in the hospital, only in the back of an ambulance. I take care of ventilated pts on multiple drips, RSI trained, cardiac devices (LVAD/impella/IABP/ECMO), high risk OB, and peds as well.

I’ll be there! I can’t wait, I really enjoy donating to the CRNA Foundation, since it was hard for me to go to college because of my cerebral palsy, I really wanted to be a CRNA!

What’s wrong with this video? Why is it so bright? I dad to adjust brightness to 0% & still was hard to watch

I am a wound specialist NP performing bedside surgical debridement with an FNP certification. I earn well but am already starting to feel the physical strain on my lower back and neck. The telehealth opportunities are what is drawing me in to go back to school for this. If I am injured then i definitely cannot perform wound care as it is fast paced and cannot be performed virtually

Allergic to propofol

Med.School would not have accepted you,not the other way round.

Hi, Thank you for sharing your CRNA experience. I'm interested in preparing for the CRNA course while ensuring I still have time for my family. Could you please advise on the preparations I should undertake before starting the course? Specifically, are there any advanced studies or books you would recommend that I read in advance? Thank you!

Couldn't you make the same argument for ADN-RN versus BSN-RN?

I had propofol I woke up right doing procedure i,don't think that's good for me

This is really awesome. Thank you for sharing, I'm finishing up my first year of CRNA school this month!

Great video. I’m currently torn on the path to take. I’m currently a travel nurse but ideally was looking to become a CRNA. The issue is I would have to stop traveling in order to get ICU experience. So I’d be taking a pretty significant pay cut initially, then after getting into a program I’d have to work little to not at all, which is tough with a family. Getting my NP first, then critical care experience, then a bridge to CRNA seems like a pretty awesome route. Do you know which program in NY does that combined program?

I absolutely hate versed and always request that I do not get it.

Mehdi Warren????????????????

I think you should stick to what you are trained in. Psych np work in school districts doing ieps.

TYSM I SAW THIS ON A TIKTOK AND EVERYONE WOULD SAY ITS A DIFERENT PAYED THING

I didn’t know psych NPs worked remotely.

Amazing!

what happened to the MSMAIDS mnumonic

Great interview and lots of vital information shared regarding both CRNA and NP. Got me thinking to be a CRNA. Thank you for the content David

Excellent video!

Hello! Freshman year i was majoring in biology to become a RN. Chemistry kicked my butt and i got my first science “C” grade. This led me to switching majors to psychology out of fear that i couldn’t do it. Does chemistry continue to build on after undergrad? And did you struggle with it too? Any words would be appreciated. Thanks.

God bless whomever developed propofol. After years of experiences I will not undergo any potentially painful procedure without it.

Can you elaborate on how you were admitted to CRNA without ICU experience? I was just hired for level 1 trauma ED but now I think I want to transfer to the ICU to become a CRNA.

Wow!!! Congratulations!! You are so close to being done.:):) That's so exciting!! How difficult is your program? And how many classes can you remediate if you score below the grade?

Sounds like you were at ORMC lol. My father in law was a OB there for 40 years but retired a few years ago. I actually shadowed CRNAs there. I’m a senior SRNA graduating in 2 months!

Hey David! Recent follower here. How has it been for those who are in school and married with or without kids doing all these different clinical sites? How do they do it??

Done locums here. Ordered torchys for dinner.

Im 19 idk if I should be NP or MD

CRNA here. I will say I know metabolism pathways and what receptors drugs work on, but honestly can’t remember the cyclic amp, gmp etc anymore. Fortunately, that depth of knowledge isn’t really too relevant in actual practice. I always ask the students about those 😆

Was a front loaded program something you wanted instead of integrated?

As a biomedical technician, who provide service for GE (mainly anestesia machines)- do you think this chinese Mindray anestesia delivery machine is good? Can compare it with Dräger apolo which was in other short? Thank you Edit: or even compare those two and that old datex-ohmeda (which is actually GE now) from your other short.

I did mine yesterday, without sedation or painkillers. It was really bearable. No real discomfort or pain.

Hey David, nice to hear you are doing well! I been following your videos since november and I like the content! It so happens that I am from McAllen, TX (worked at MMC and Doctor's Hospital) I hope you liked your stay there I know its very educational haha. Two peeps of mine are your under classmen at Nationals. I am one semester in a program at Indiana and it went in the blink of an eye. Any pearls of wisdom to thrive and squeeze the most out of this sweet sweet orange called CRNA school? If possible please let me know if I can email you, Thanks! -Javier

I think this video would have benefited from an actual MD or DO weighing in, or a little more research. 1. Premed isnt just MCAT/GPA/Prereqs. You can have 99th percentile on all of these and will 100% be rejected from most programs without extracurriculars. I have 2000 hours as an emergency scribe, 500 hours of clinical volunteering as a medical assistant, 600 hours of ochem research with 3 posters and 1 publication, 30 hours of shadowing, 100 hours of nonclinical volunteering, and this is still on the lower side of extracurriculars in addition to MCAT/GPA 2. MD and DO pathways are largely the same other than DO’s taking COMLEX in addition to STEP and studying OMM during med school 3. When applying to residencies most applicants apply to between 21-58 programs, not 6. I know 6 was probably just the first number that came to mind but when giving information a quick google search or asking an attending for information would prevent misconceptions

I just got accepted to Family Nurse Practitioner school. Should I switch to Psychiatric Nurse practitioner?

When do you transition from a CRNA student to a CRNA resident? Or do you matriculate into CRNA with the title already?

Great, great video. My only problem is that the back music is way too loud. Has to play video 3x to get everything out of it. lol

You’re not a resident, it’s not a medical residency dude.

Incredible video David. Very non traditional student here. Will be finishing my BSN at age 47 and applying after. Have been a nurse for 3 years and was a paramedic for 10 years before that. Have 3 teenagers soon to be graduating HS. Figure ive got another 15-20 years of work after graduating and this is the career that has occupied a part of my mind each day for the past 20 years. Ive gotten to do and see alot but ive always come back to anesthesia. We will see what happens. Thanks for the content. new sub.

Wonderful advertisement for clinic and Alaska 😁
