HPSP: Health Professions Scholarship Program... paying for CRNA school in 2022 ! | @aisha_crna

[@mirandaharris9871]

Your hair is so thick and pretty!!! Love it

[@AishaCRNA]

Thank you!

[@BoltCRNA]

Great topic. I talked to an HPSP recruiter when I started CRNA school. It's probably the only option I found that will actually pay for school and your living expenses. They sent me the initial packet and the paperwork was unreal. I ended up going a different route but it's a great option.

[@jakeking7282]

What route did you end up taking?

👀👀 your anesthesia textbooks 🤣 (List please... Of course, if you don't mind/when you have time) Thank you for the info and welcome back!

[@destinyr9795]

This gives me so much encouragement. I want to be a crna as well in the air force. Right now im in nursing school. Thank you so much btw love your hair.😍😍😍😍

[@Barbieonabudget99]

This scholarship is definitely the biggest thing I’m working for. I’m starting my 3rd year of college this fall so i need my gpa up before the end of spring. Wish me luck

[@laylawatkins2660]

Update?

[@jaidahwheeler5872]

Omg! I’m 16 and the route I want to go is CRNA in the Air Force. This video is SO helpful. Love your hair by the way💖

[@ayoakin9718]

How are you doing now any tips bc im also 16 right now and i am going to join the military

[@socalfritos9452]

Awesome video!! I am in the Army National Guard and work for a medical detachment. I work with Dr's, PA's, NP's, RN's, and even dentists. A good majority of them have told me that if they were to do things over, they would go the CRNA route. I will be trying to get into the Army CRNA program, but this HPSP seems like an awesome route as well. I have never heard about it, so it's a pleasant surprise. Don't tell anyone I said it, but Airforce is the way to go. 😂😂 I look forward your future videos about the program.

[@Itsgorgeouseverything]

Why would you suggest Air Force? Just curious

[@socalfritos9452]

@@Itsgorgeouseverything Airforce accommodations are usually better. The AF physical fitness test is also easier. AF seems to also have their sh@t together better than Army.

[@thepetitepa]

Your profile pic is hella cute! Lol. I got into PA school and I’m looking into the NAVY HPSP

[@wid90210]

Your back!!!!

[@yeranishunor4854]

Your hair is so cool!

[@emilysrna27]

I am currently startings interviews for CRNA school (YAY!). I want to go the HPSP route since i am a mother of 4 and have not gotten the chance to save a whole bunch. What does the 3 years of commitment look like afterwards? I know pay will be lower than other places, but the benefits make up for it, I'm more questioning deployments.

[@AishaCRNA]

I am doing an HPSP session for those that are interested. aishallen.com to join email list.

[@jakeking7282]

Have you done a video about the process of getting in touch with the right recruiters and the questions to ask to make sure you received the best information available? I ask because I was accepted to a DNAP program starting August this year and I've started looking into the HPSP, but there are sooooo many questions and not a lot of information about pursuing this for CRNA school. Thank you for the video you've already done!

[@AishaCRNA]

I will do that!

[@ashleycorral4325]

Thank you for this video !!!

[@thenightdances21]

I'm 26 also!! In looking into the HPSP program but for Med school!! You look so young btw!! I thought you were 19 ( not saying we're old 😅)! My name is Jennifer btw!! Congrats!!

[@AishaCRNA]

Hey Jennifer!

[@thenightdances21]

Aisha SRNA hey girl!

[@AishaCRNA]

How is it going??

[@thenightdances21]

Aisha SRNA well I'm in the very beginning phase. I'm finishing some my my prerequisite for med school & will start studying for the MCAT. However, I have talked to a healthcare recruiter for the Navy & the Air Force email me & I plan to talk to them. I'm still trying to decide between the Navy or Air Force 😩!! I'm trying to ask myself which branch would be better for me (in terms of deployment...can I handle life on the ship (the USNS Mercy or Comfort)). I'm excited however for this journey!! Overall I'm doing pretty good!! How are you?! Sorry it took me so long to reply!!😅

[@marcalexander6450]

@@thenightdances21 easy lol girl the air Force. I'm telling you. After being around the different branches and seeing the lifestyle. Definitely Air Force. I'm planning on doing Air Force. I'm getting out next month and want to go to nursing school. So that's my first step.

[@KingKromah]

thanks, you're amazing

[@jadakiss228]

Great video

[@michaelforrester5875]

Did you consider other branches and did you consider something like usagpan or usuhs? Also, do you get paid the same amount for the entire year or only when you’re in school so on breaks you get paid less ( that’s how the gi bill is)

[@AishaCRNA]

Hey! Awesome questions (you must have prior service). So I never considered other branches. And also never considered any military programs. I wanted to go to a civilian school, specifically Duke. As for pay... I am paid the same amount while I am in school except for during certain months where I am paid as if I am active duty.

[@lixxyissoostunnin]

Looking back now , do you regret signing up for this or do you think it was a good idea?

[@Bysamanthalvnette]

I am currently looking into the usagpan program. I’m a little confused on the program. Would I go in as a civilian and then eventually have to go active duty? Or do I enter as active duty?

[@AishaCRNA]

I technically am a reservists while I am in school, and now since I graduated, I am going active.

[@DavidJones-zj9ls]

I’m currently in my MSN would I be better off just getting my MSN would I be better just joining the Air Force now and just commissioning afterwards?

[@wry1007]

You mentioned NO drill time while obtaining your degree? I was told I would have to uphold an RN nursing M.O.S. along with drills. Once done with school on the civilian side I would be processed for CRNA status/M.O.S. is this correct?

[@AishaCRNA]

This is for the Air Forcde

[@giftoscar321]

Am from Tanzania,just completed my BSCN ... please help me know how i can get to access scholarships on nurse anaesthetics in the Us or Australia please🙏

Any time!

[@maryassan5200]

Hi, found your you tube channel and would like to ask a few questions if you don’t mind. I am now getting my BSN but am working now with my Associates. My plan is to finish school by next year March and begin applying for the Air Force also whilst working in the ICU. Along side working in the ICU and applying for the Air Force I would apply for CRNA school also hopefully to get in by the next year. Please help me. Am I getting this all right? Or any suggestions? Because I wanted to get in as an officer and also get help with school payment also.

[@AishaCRNA]

Yes, I did it all at the same time. But I already had my BSN, so just make sure you have all of your requirements to be accepted into CRNA school!

[@managevincent5745]

I love your hair.

[@princess287love]

Oh wow! I didn’t know Hpsp paid for CRNA

[@summatheestunna8125]

Could you start off as an air force reservist while in nursing school. And then once you complete nursing school, apply for HPSP if you were to get it ?

[@AishaCRNA]

I am so sad I never saw this comment! I had to put a lot of focus into the military.

[@kdramamania4597]

is it offered to any CRNA programs offered in the state or a specific crna program? should you start application once accepted or before?

[@Lina-uk8ru]

Is it expensive going to school for a bsn? I’m trying to decide if I should go that route first or go do the airforce reserves first, since I’m about to graduate with my associates.

[@AishaCRNA]

If you are able to take advantage of educational benefits as a reservist, I would seek that route (personally). But not all BSNs are expensive. PLUS, usually your place of employment will fund you!

[@Lina-uk8ru]

Well my husband is getting stationed in another state and I graduate with my associates in Sociology, so I wouldn’t have a job yet, that would fund me. I’m really just trying to take the best route where I don’t owe a whole bunch of money.

[@rasoaalukwe8205]

Iam just starting my ADN but hopping to get CRNA. Because of my age this would be when Iam 40yrs old. Do you think I may be able to qualify for the army scholarship at this age? Whats the cut off age?

[@AishaCRNA]

This is something you'd have to discuss with a recruiter. If I am not mistaken I think the cut off is 42

[@Incognitocita]

Is it really just 4 years after they pay for 4 years of medical school or do they add more years

[@purple00k]

I love thee hair…

[@rebekahhardin3234]

I'm kind of late to this..but I'm in the middle of all the paperwork now. Who did they recommend using for your references? Thanks!

[@AishaCRNA]

I used the same references that I used for my CRNA applications. They never recommended anyone in particular.

[@jundom05]

Did you enter the Airforce as a reservist or active duty? Do drills as a reservist interfere with school schedule? How many years do you need to be on active duty/ reserves before you can able to avail the HPSP? Thank yoi

[@AishaCRNA]

When I signed my scholarship acceptance, I commissioned as a reservist. When I graduate I will go active. I was never in the military prior to this. There are no drills for HPSP.

[@jundom05]

@@AishaCRNA thank you for the reply. It enlightened me a lot

[@brandiigiibson]

Do you have to have an acceptance letter before applying for this? What if you fail?

[@justinabenson7229]

curious too

[@savannahjackson2684]

Does it work for BSN programs

[@shaniamurray1124]

Wait how do you send them your nurse license if you haven’t started college yet?

[@AishaCRNA]

To become a CRNA you must already have your nursing license. This is an advanced practice nursing degree

[@nathanmikewinchesterchevri370]

Can you applied for it if you are a new nursing student getting an associate?

[@AishaCRNA]

No. This is for graduate degrees in healthcare

[@karialj]

Are you able to get an associates in nursing and then get your bsn and then apply for this or do you have to go straight into a four year university?

[@strawberries1235]

So does this mean after you are done, you will work in the actual Air Force??? Do u get to chose your location???

[@AishaCRNA]

Yes and Yes!

[@kaheaisaac1]

I thought u don't get to choose where you work

[@justinabenson7229]

@@kaheaisaac1 I guess it depends on ur branch

[@kimbutters2311]

Do you have to take the MCAT to apply?

[@AishaCRNA]

No! This isn't med school

[@justinabenson7229]

lol it's not med school

[@FlxffySlayz]

When they ask you why you want to be in the military what did you say?

[@AishaCRNA]

Are you asking me? lol

[@FlxffySlayz]

Lol yeah like did you tell them cause I want you guys to pay haha I’m not going that route but I’m curious

[@AishaCRNA]

Oh... well I was honest. I wanted a way to help with paying for school AND I wanted to serve my country in a way that was most impactful
