What Does A CRNA Do? Pros and Cons Of Becoming A CRNA!

[@Jmurse89]

Huge con I'm struggling with is the 3 years of hell studying 60 hrs a week, taking out massive loans and putting your limits to the test every day. All to help people who can then turn around and sue you for any mistake. I love the job of a CRNA- I couldn't get enough shadow time in. But covid has given me a different perspective, looking at the bigger picture😕

[@CRNASchoolPrepAcademy]

It has certainly shed a lot of light on things for people, you're not wrong about that Jeremy! We appreciate what you do to helps others as a CRNA, and know you're not alone in feeling frustrations, too. Keep fighting the good fight!

[@Katie-ry4lj]

I'm so glad you made these videos. You go really in depth of your experience as a CRNA. It's nice for someone like me who's trying to get into the fieldm

[@CRNASchoolPrepAcademy]

Thank you for tuning in, Katie! We are rooting for you!

[@brookefraley5008]

Thanks for the videos!! I love that you admitted you like being bossy and in charge… we have that in common 🤣. I started my 10 year journey to become a CRNA this year!

[@CRNASchoolPrepAcademy]

Ha! Might as well own it ;) Thank you for tuning in, and good luck in your journey Brooke!!!

[@kortnebear1513]

Can you please talk about your personal as well as general work-life balance as a CRNA?

[@CRNASchoolPrepAcademy]

Hi Kortne! Great question! Check out this video for some more insights into that- kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqqWp6KifrqEo68 Thank you for tuning in!

[@assefameshesha1388]

Appreciate you for making these amazing videos. I am learning a lot to go to AA school. One thing I will be struggling (hopefully I will get over it) is I am introvert and that kind of makes me unconfident about myself. I am not that social with people for that reason I don't like talking. currently I am working in a hospital as RT.

Great videos! Do you have to work every other weekend? And if so could you work at night or evening shift during the weekend?

[@CRNASchoolPrepAcademy]

On a cosmetic patient you wouldn’t offer local/infiltrate injection and extraction?

[@CRNASchoolPrepAcademy]

Hi Zachary! Deanna here with the CSPA Social Team-- I'd recommend reaching out to someone in this field of specialty for a more specific answer. Thank you for tuning in!

[@aarynnichole1767]

What if surgery makes you sort of queezy but I love the l thought of being a crna. Is it not a good fit?

[@CRNASchoolPrepAcademy]

Great question thank you for asking! I encourage you to shadow a CRNA (or a few!) to see for yourself. It will be the best way to determine if it's the right fit for you :) Use this free CRNA Shadowing Form to document your experiences for reflection and to submit with future CRNA school applications (most require that you have shadowing experience anyways) www.cspaedu.com/j814jsxq Hope this helps- cheers to your future!!

I have 1.5 yrs as a CVICU nurse and I’m not sure about applying this year. I truly enjoy my days off and I feel like it’s time to apply since wen I get in…I would have worked close to 2.5-3yrs. It’s so weird to say but I can’t see myself giving up my free days 😂😂😂 for 3yrs and I enjoy my time with my husband too. How do I get over it? Currently studying for my ccrn exam so I am set to apply. Deep down… I just want to retire 🥂

[@CRNASchoolPrepAcademy]

Ha! I can relate to that 😂😂😂 It really comes down to when you know mentally that you're ready. It sounds like you already know that the three years during school will be intense, so spend the time that you have up until then fully soaking it all in. And remember, the three years may be intense but it will be SO worth it in the long run if CRNA is what you really want! The freedom that comes with it pays off. Have you checked out this video? It may give you some inspiration for how great being a CRNA can be (and help you get thru those 3 years!): kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqqWp6KifrqEo68 There's also this one about surviving in CRNA School while in a relationship: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2G3l4Wmr5lrh5o Ultimately, you'll want to find your "why", it will be your #1 motivating force to push through. PS We can help you with that in the Academy... here's a link to look over our membership options: crnaschoolprepacademy.com/join Rooting for you!!! Thanks for tuning in!
