[@briaunahinds6092]

Being a CRNA is my ultimate long-term goal. I'm so anxious to just see the end and get there. I know the Bible says "be anxious for nothing" so I try to stay humble , focused and take it a day at a time. I was struck when you said that you where a single mom. I am a mom of 3 !!! and I need to see someone doing it. I need that motivation. I'm in school now finishing my pre- Recs & Monique ,I would love for you to be my mentor !!!!! Please consider it. Thank you for this video. I feel more confident than ever that I will reach my goal.

[@goldenchildofra6432]

I want to be a CRNA, i have researched so much on this profession. I look the autonomy these nurses have; it requires critical thinking and a sharp mind. I have loved this profession since i stated nursing school. Wonderful interview.

I love that she mentioned being a single mom. Makes me feel like it’s possible to get there! Thank you for this interview.

[@bishopthomas7548]

Pure black excellence 👏🏾👏🏾

[@paintballjunkie65]

Still debating on going CRNA or MD. Im about to start Nursing school(have all of my pre-req's done) but i feel like being a surgeon would be so much more rewarding. I have all A's so far, and am confident i could get A's in physics, Orgo etc. Im 27 and married though, so i know the MD route would be a long one. Still leaning toward MD as of right now! Wish i would have had my life figured out in HS like some people!ha

[@trevonsmith2761]

TheCodFather saaaaaaame here lol sounds like we’re in the same path. I’m 24 currently I’ll be 26 when I finish my RN program and start working as an RN. Then I’ll do a RN to BSN which should be done by 27 then I wanted to work until 30(total 4 years) and then go back for grad school . I’ll probably decide by year 2 if I’ll do MD so I can start getting my med school pre reqs out of the way.

[@justtoolit6051]

You could become an Anesthesiologist and get that MD, so you can get the best of both worlds. If you end up not liking the OR, you can end up picking up Pain Management other subspecialties.

[@bethaniejernigan9955]

For someone that is in nursing school and wants to become a CCRN, this is an excellent career path to follow. I will be sure to keep this in mind once I actually graduate nursing school and start looking for jobs as a Trauma-ICU, CVICU, or SICU/MICU nurse.

[@HollyWoodStar2000]

Wow great interview. CRNA sounds like a great profession.

[@tomare6479]

No, it's a distinct class of healthcare worker. I wouldn't say they pretend, I'd say that anesthesiologists are better trained. That's the difference.

[@alexabel2643]

@@justtoolit6051 nurses practioners do a lot of physician work as well. If medical schools produced more doctors then Healthcare wouldn't have to find more ways to fix it

[@justtoolit6051]

The problem with producing more Doctors is that the field will become saturated, which is why the acceptance rate is so low (Look at how saturated pharmacy and law are). Keeping the Doctors at a low count gives the profession more prestige and thus having hard working individuals become Doctors. That's how I see it at least.

[@tomare6479]

You cannot do physician work without being a physician. Physician work is physician work, which means it is categorized differently, which has taken into account years of training and true expertise. Healthcare is extremely multifaceted. It does not come down to the simple nonsense you just put out.

[@rrg69able]

@@justtoolit6051 there's a shortage of young doctors. The older ones will be retiring eventually.

Dr. Webb , I was wondering if your willing to do a video like this but on anesthesiologist. I am very interested. Much love and respect brother.

[@felixmillan802]

I know you made one 5 months ago. But a current one with a different perspective would be nice !

[@antoniowebbmd]

Let me look into it! Thx

[@antoniowebbmd]

Let me know what other perspective you would like

[@felixmillan802]

The video you had posted was of someone talking about it from a residents perspective and not of someone that has been practicing for years. Maybe someone who is no longer in the residency program. A bigger insight on just what led them to that point and what drove them to that specific specialty. Thank you!

[@antoniowebbmd]

Gottcha, good point. I will look into this! Thanks!

I’m working towards my bachelors degree in healthcare administration. I really want to make a Career Change toward Nursing. I’ve been told that if I have a bachelors degree (in any field ) I could enroll into an Accelerated BSN Nursing Program. Does anyone know about this?

[@maxia2242]

What you’ve heard is true. Depending on what school you’d like to attend, you may have to take prerequisites.

[@Rooted_Locs]

i wish they would integrate this profession in Canada, but the politics with physicians is soo thick even though we have a huge shortage of anesthesiologists in rural areas

[@martinesalomon5334]

I'm thinking of moving so I could jump on this opportunity. Finishing my BSN in Canada

[@Jshowtime02]

Martine Salomon hey do you know the procedure to becoming a crna once you get ur bsn in Canada? What next should one do?

[@Rooted_Locs]

@@Jshowtime02 i know this wasn't addressed to me. but i think you need 1 year of ICU experience (likely in a US hospital-depending on the school) and you need to registered your RN license in the state that you plan on studying for school after acceptance into a nurse anesthetist DNP or masters program. most prgrams are 3 years i believe

[@Jshowtime02]

miniimufin ohhh perfect tysmmm. R u trying to become one still?

[@Rooted_Locs]

@@Jshowtime02 I definately want more autonomy in nursing, so Im looking into family NP programs instead. Unless I plan on living in the US (which I definately don't). I don't know if that education of a CRNA would be worth it for me. When I worked at SickKids there was a nurse who graduated from uofTs nurse anesthesia pilot program-I don't think much came out of it except that If you gooogle "nurse anesthesia UHN" you can see that only one other nurse from that cohort program is working as a part of the "anesthesia care team" in one of the downtown Toronto hospitals- they did not specify their roles and responsibilities but I highly doubt they are doing what nurse anesthetist do in the US. I'm also looking into BSN-DNP programs as another way of becoming a nurse practioner (3 years also) because I have no interest in earning a PhD in nursing but I want a terminal degree that is more clinical and less research. If I do the BSN-Dnp it also means I don't have two work those mandatory 2 years before applying to NP school in Canada, the US school allow new graduate nurses to gain working hours/experience while completing the program-save a lot of time. What about you?

[@LightSkinIverson]

Am I going to be the only male CRNA? 🥺🤦🏻‍♂️

[@princess287love]

My goal! Just got into nursing school

[@zayabud7836]

What is CRNA school like? Also can you work as a nurse while you’re in CRNA school?

[@AcieLee1990]

Great video

[@vincentwalker6039]

I believe that by 2025 it is required to have a doctorate degree in this field

[@michael-bz5qz]

correct and that sucks because doctorate schools are so expensive so while you're a RN you should probably save up for it

[@Zay13378]

This is definitely unfortunate for us who want to pursue the CRNA path over any MD path. However, I think I as a 15 year old would still edge the CRNA path because of what I have heard.

[@taisircleanin]

I am an international medical graduate currently working as an anesthesiologist Overseas how can I become CRNA i am a permanent resident in the USA

[@taylorwills7830]

so i am 25 going into nursing and i have not even finished all my pre-recs for that. I want to be a CRNA so SO badly and i have these moments where im like OMG YES lets do this!! then im like wow im going to be in school FOREVER. Any advice? I dont want to be graduating when im 40 >_

[@maxreaper25]

start now bc u can b 40 wishing u were a crna or u can be a 40 year old crna

[@antoniowebbmd]

Good thing is that CRNA school is not that long. Becoming an anesthesiologist would be a different story. Ha.

[@onixtheone]

Don’t worry I know a few 47 year olds barely starting their pre reqs and some 49 year olds in nursing right now, the secret is to keep on keeping on.

[@Mariely1]

Taylor Wills it is what it is lol. Don’t even think about your age girl. There is so much o wish I could have done differently in my earlier college semesters. I’m 21 and working on prerequisites. If I would have done the whole traditional college thing, I’d have my bsn spring 2020. But no, things are different and I have to work with what’s in front of me.

grade point average, and usually its a bachelors degree and graduate entrance exam that is required

[@xyzxyzuvwuvw7633]

youd know DJ MD

[@demonscar24]

How'd you know?! ;)

[@DavidMunoz-pb9iu]

DJ it’s not about wanting to be a MD son. It’s about wanting to further themselves within their career. Also CRNAs have the luxury of working nurses hours and also receiving high pay. No need to brag on who is better in the health setting. As we’re all here for the same reason and that is to help the patient, whether we are at the bedside, OR, or PT clinic.
