Do I Regret Becoming A CRNA?

[@shunnietg]

I’ve been a CRNA for over 16 years and, even though it’s come with challenges, I do not regret it and would choose it again. It’s been very rewarding and fulfilling!! Thanks for this video!!! 😊

[@thenursereport184]

Yes! I am very happy with my choice to become a CRNA. We truly are in such a good profession. Thanks for watching!

[@kendon1]

I was departing between CRNA and MD. Watching this video for some introspection

[@NewNurseGuidebook]

A fellow AU Alum! Thank you for the awesome video. It was super informative.

[@thenursereport184]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm an AGNP. My job title is Sexual Health NP. I love it so much! I treat STDs and do STD/HIV prevention through Doxy-PEP and PrEP.

[@thenursereport184]

Amazing! That is such important work!

[@fatumatadiaraye9882]

I wish I could talk to you in person. This was a great video because am currently looking into the crna program at Augusta.

[@thenursereport184]

I enjoyed the program overall. I think they have a good variety of clinical rotations.

[@ethangoff9016]

This was an awesome video. I currently work in ATL’s level 1 trauma center and am considering CRNA school. It seems I gotta do it 😅 If you don’t mind me asking, did you live off of loans while you were in school?

[@thenursereport184]

Hey! Yes, I did. I saved up almost $20,000 for miscellaneous school expenses (books, groceries, etc.), paid off my car, and any student loans where interest would keep accruing. I still had to take out loans to cover everything else.

[@KimmyDTV]

Thank you so much for this video and You are so pretty 😍

[@thenursereport184]

Thank you too! 😊

I have a lot of reservation about NP training. The concept of NP is good. However, the training needs overhaul. Transitioning to a provider role with two years online programme is crazy. Clinical hours of 500-750 hrs does not sound good. Students having to find preceptors. It’s just a lot . Most NPs don’t feel prepared to take up the role. To make things worse, no internship after the training. It's just crazy. I will choose CRNA over NP a million time because of how structured and didactic the training is or better still go to medical school. I'm proud you took the CRNA route. PS: I'm an RN and this is my honest opinion

[@thenursereport184]

Yeah, it is sad there are a lot of mixed emotions around NP programs. I feel you have to be very determined and motivated to excel in some of the NP programs. Hopefully the education and clinical experience of NP programs gets better. I feel it could really be a great profession if there are changed made to the education.

[@IlkerLiliya]

This is a great video! I truly appreciate the information you provided! I am currently an ABSN student with a great deal of hope to become a CRNA. I live in Jersey and hope to attend Rutgers one day! You mentioned that you applied before! I was wondering what was your experience? Were you accepted? Thanks in advance!

[@thenursereport184]

No, that was the one program I didn’t get accepted into. They asked a bunch of clinical questions and I fumbled my answers and got some stuff wrong because I was so nervous. I don’t really know how the program is overall for student who actually attend.

[@princess287love]

I want to go to AU. But the deadline is next week 😭. Can’t get recommendations in on time. I’ll have to wait till next year

[@thenursereport184]

Sometime schools extend the deadline, so keep checking the website. Good luck!

[@crystalwilliams213]

What kind of math do you do in the program?

[@Rissa001]

Thank you so much for this video❤..I would love to ask…can you please explain the new requirements to get into CRNA school from 2025 in simple terms please…I’ve been seeing different interpretations of that

[@thenursereport184]

I know that for a long time it was said that all CRNA program would become doctorate programs by 2025. Also, university websites will list any specific requirements they have for applicants.

[@henriqueluiz9810]

Hello, how are you, what are the ways to become a crna, you have to do a bachelor's degree in rn after doing a course in crna or course, thank you, I loved your videos

[@notanotherabdi8216]

God willing I will be a CRNA one day. Currently just turned 21 and I’m wrapping up my nursing degree. I have two questions for you. 1) How do I guarantee I get into a level 1 trauma hospital as soon as possible? 2) What where your stats prior to applying to your program, and what do you think separated you from the other applicants?

[@thenursereport184]

1) A way to give yourself a leg up is become a CNA or patient care technician on the unit you want to work on once you graduate. Also, be open to any shift once you graduate. 2) I would watch my Journey to becoming a CRNA. I can’t remember all my stats but mention them in the video I made about 2 years ago.

[@levivanhoozer2603]

How is the stress level? Would you say CRNA is less stress than being an icu/er or other type of nurse?

[@thenursereport184]

Both are stressful in different ways. ICU you are pulled in all different directions and act as the middle man the whole shift which is very stressful. Being a CRNA is stressful because emergencies can happen so quickly and suddenly you always have to be on your toes and vigilant.

[@brittneyking4284]

Is it possible to make 400k as a locum crna with a dnp?

[@thenursereport184]

You probably can if you are willingly to work in less desirable locations for a couple months out of the year.

[@darscassel]

With or without a DNP. No one cares about the DNP that hires CRNAs. Only the schools who get more revenue from extending time to degree completion care about this degree.😂

[@teensmile2915]

Do you need maths and physics to become a CRNA

[@thenursereport184]

It depends on the CRNA program. Some require specific science and math course before applying.

[@damiajasa3786]

Thanks for the video! Where can we reach you by email? I am an SRNA and have some questions about your experience with the DMV job market.

[@thenursereport184]

Hey! I don’t have an email setup for this channel, but you can DM on my Instagram with any questions you may have!

[@Wally733]

Do I have to become a nurse to follow the schooling pathway of becoming a crna ? I also seem as of aug 5 2024 they changed the requirements of becoming a CRNA it’s more difficult now as of 4 days ago 😂

[@thenursereport184]

Hey! Yes, you have to be a registered nurse in order to become a CRNA.

[@heatherscheber8948]

Look into certified anesthesia assistant (CAA).
