How To Become A CRNA With Zero Experience

[@nicolerosas3709]

You are so encouraging! I know I want to become a CRNA..it truly excites me! But when any doubt starts to creep in if all the sacrifices will be worth it, your videos get me right back on track! Thank you!

[@hart4592]

Thank you for this information. I'm 51 years old and retired USAF, but I want to become a CRNA. I will be starting basically from scratch, and this gives me hope.

[@jeffreyblaise3198]

You’re so amazing! Thanks for sharing this. Also, with this whole detailed process, have you ever thought about going to Medical school? Because it’s so much put into getting into CRNA, I’ve heard you might as well became a Physician. I’d love to hear your thoughts

[@deannaw.8457]

This is a helpful video! I've tried to transition to the ICU as in OR nurse and it wasn't easy at all, not to mention being in the deep south, the racism that comes along with being a nurse is color in the ICU. It was all to much and I ended up going back to the OR not knowing if I could do it in the south or if I even wanted to waste my time anymore since there's no guarantee that it'll be different somewhere else 😢

[@basedt8415]

Thank you so much for this valuable information. Can you talk about debt for a typical CRNA program? 🤔

[@ayanachristie2528]

I don’t think there should be debt since you would already be a nurse capable of earning ! To find your way through school as opposed to going out there getting loans and so forth…(just my opinion)

[@keithfantinalgo4665]

I wanna hug you! thank you for the encouragement.

You are so encouraging I listen to you to keep focus

[@ExquisitePsychNP]

Nice vlog, could you please advise on how possible it could be to “pivot” from PMHNP to CRNA program?

[@sincerelykayo1450]

You cannot become a CRNA without experience HOWEVER, you can become something similar (Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant) without experience, you will need a bachelors and a few science courses and can only practice in states that recognize them. Pay is similar if not the same for both CRNA & CAA (at least in FL).

Nice channel! I'm currently taking classes at a college that's nationally accredited, I'm hearing most CRNA schools only take students with reigonal accreditation. Is this true? Thank you 💯

[@louexilus2774]

Hi, Thanks for doing these videos. I am currently graduating with my BSN from a pass or fail university and it requires a 90% on everything to pass, particularly on assessments and they also have GPA calculations. It's super competitive and our nurses are usually the nurses sought after for hiring. How do you think CRNA schools would feel about my current BSN program? Are they okay with such programs? Are there any CRNA schools not requiring the GRE that you would be able to recommend? Thank you for your time.

[@vidaampofo1065]

Am so very interested but i wanted to search schools that do not accept chemistry or physics. Now working on the icu experience

[@DonnakaySimone]

Love your channel!

[@judeetuaful5188]

Hi. I have an associate degree in anesthesia and wants to know how I can become a CRNA. in Ghana now

[@KittyCat-cx1sp]

Is it a smart choice to get my RN and then go straight to the bachelors program without working as a nurse first. Then after graduating try to get a job in the ICU. The school I’m going to has an RN-BSN program but I’m not sure if I should work as a nurse in between or just till after I’m done with my bachelors.

[@keitumetsebuffel8154]

Hi, thank you for this valuable info Am currently working as a Anesthetic assistant nurse in my country, so do I have have to go work in the ICU in order to qualify for entry at CRNA school?

[@money31maker]

Does your friend you mentioned have a KZbin Channel ?

[@fabfoz]

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

[@lynniezewalker4326]

Is Med surge the same as ICU and NICU?

[@blakeknighton2183]

Nope. I’m getting my foot in the door as a new BSN. My cousin said that the CRNA’s he rubs shoulders with told him to get experience in post surgical ICU’s because they often deal directly with surgeons and other anesthesiologists and the meds they use. I plan on getting an ICU job like that when I move back to AZ.

[@lynniezewalker4326]

@@blakeknighton2183 so what should I apply for ICU or med surge icu?

[@blakeknighton2183]

ICU, if you can. Plan ahead like 2-5 years from now and pick 2-3 schools you want to go too. Each school will be different on what kind of experience they accept. Some might accept nicu and ER while others reject those. Med surg icu is more of a progressive care or step down icu and sometimes isn’t up to par with Crna reqs.

[@blake_229]

Just got rejected from an ICU position. Currently working on my BSN. I feel so defeated

[@ashleyneal3449]

are u ok now

[@blake_229]

@@ashleyneal3449 Yes I am, my father passed away in February so I moved home to help my mom. Applied at the local hospital and got a job in the ICU here and I LOVE IT!

[@chrisobieze-bb7iy]

Hi christine please how could I get funding??

[@EssieJessie]

Does the ICU nurse residency count as the one year experience for ICU or would it start counting after? Thanks! I graduate my ABSN program in August 🙏🙏

[@Luis-gm9wz]

I had this question too. Can someone answer?

[@stealthreporter5122]

No-you need independent nursing practice experience in the ICU. The more critical care experience you have, the easier it will be for you.

[@eddiexhey]

as long as you're the primary nurse for the patient those hours could count.

[@stillmystyle]

Hello. I was just wondering, Is there any offer for scholarships or hospitals sponsoring CRNA programs?

[@stealthreporter5122]

Not that I know of. That would be rather ridiculous for a degree that will guarantee you at least $200k right out of school. You can pay back school loans pretty easily with that salary.

[@stefaniebuissereth108]

The title is misleading ..so I guess my comment will be deleted ..mind all this time she has been gaining experience to go to crna school

[@leewayneblue9339]

Okay you had experience it takes usually two years icu experience so this title is not true no Anesthesia nurse program will take you without that experience info is not true it is clickbait its 7 years ppl

[@jennifernettles387]

If you already have a bachelor's degree, don't waste your time with getting a bachelor's in nursing. Get your MSN. There are MSN programs that don't require any sort of prior nursing degree...

[@marga2669]

What is the benefit of that if the end goal is becoming a crna?

[@adanilda1980]

So I was told otherwise. I have a bachelors in psychology and I was told I still had to have a BSN to go for an MSN. That’s pretty crappy because I just got approved for my program and I start literally in a couple days.

[@wisletmulatre4771]

@@adanilda1980 There are programs with direct entry into MSN (about months) if you have a non-nursing bachelor. just look up.

hi, I am really interested,, can you explain more? thank you

[@jeremyjones5140]

Hello there. While I understand your motivation behind CRNA school, to encourage people to apply into CRNA without any experience is ridiculous and is borderline very unsafe for patient safety. That is very unprofessional advice to give the general public for applying to CRNA school especially when the schools are becoming even more rigorous then before and will eventually lead to the oversaturation as other healthcare providers. There is a reason why those pertinent crucial ICU nursing years are important since you will be building off that experience. Most CRNA schools will not even look at an applicant who has not even worked at least 1.5 yrs in level II or III ICU (SICU and MICU). Last thing nursing needs is their physician anesthesiologists giving laws more reasons to shit upon nurses and in that case, they would have every reason too.

[@kristinlong9604]

The title says “ZERO EXPERIENCE”! And all you gave were examples of people with at least one year of experience. LIES! And CLICKBAIT!
