CRNA is the best. $200/hr per diem and it just keeps increasing. Much easier than staff nursing. Best decision of my life.

[@QuellArion]

What is the hardest challenge? And how do you stay confident when dosing patients

[@gen9250]

I do see the light at the end of the tunnel but man that’s a difficult tunnel to get through!! I’m currently a new grad in the ICU and struggle to get by my day to day 😢

[@AJbara]

@@gen9250 Keep going! Hopefully you have a great preceptor. I remember some days crying when I got home they were not kind to me but God is awesome I left as soon as my orientation was up and within a matter of months I was making more than the nurse manager with travel contracts, worked with the most loving caring people doing travel so don’t give up! It is worth it.

[@JacksonNotJaxon]

What did you do in undergrad to start your path to CRNA?

[@748fheudb7]

This was also my “ideal” path in nursing school, atleast in my head it was. When I did my OR rotation, I quickly realized, no matter how much I got paid, I would not enjoy the setting CRNA’s work in, or what their day to day practice involved. I loved “managing” my cardiac surgical patients’ recovery when they came out of OR, and this helped me understand I would have most satisfaction as a critical care NP/PA, driving the overall comprehensive care of my patients. The journey to our own unique niche is the best part! There are unlimited pathways and final destinations in nursing, you can always find something that makes you thrive.

[@robioavion]

I just want to say THANK YOU! Thank you for everything you and your wife do! With all the negatives backlash, nursing school and RNs get, It is so refreshing to watch you and motivate us to not give up on nursing. I hope to one day say thank you in person. just THANK YOU!!

[@NursesToRiches]

Wow, thanks so much for the wonderful comment!

I've been watching Jason Bolt's videos for a while now ever since I started doing research on becoming an RN. I pretty much learned what a CRNA is from him. I start training as a CNA soon and aim to become a CRNA. I appreciate this video so much and so grateful for both yours and BoltCRNA's channels!

Thank you so much! Best of luck to you on your journey and don't stop till you get there.

Great collab, I watch boltCRNA for the past few years because I am interested in becoming a CRNA. He's a great source of content that answers a lot about CRNA.

[@NursesToRiches]

[@RiseAbovePride]

It’s interesting hearing how guarded CRNAs are about pay. I know other providers don’t discuss pay because of the reasons listed. NP for the most part have been the most transparent with me about how much they make. Have you thought about interviewing a RN Case Manager? I think that’d offer a new perspective on a side of nursing many people don’t hear about. Thanks for making another informative and interesting video!

[@NursesToRiches]

I love interviewing nurses in unique specialties and if you find any of them, send them my way. I've just had bad luck getting anyone to respond to my messages or follow through with an interview.

[@Matt_Young]

Dr. Bolt is awesome! Great informative dude.

I really hope CRNA schools maintain the standard . They shouldn’t attempt to make the program online . The reason why the CRNA profession is still very respected is because it everyone knows the rigorousity of the program

Great Job by the Interviewer and Interviewee. This episode Choc full of info, insight and perspective!!

[@NursesToRiches]

Thank you so much!

[@adegbolaoluwawamiri3027]

I have always said it that a CRNA does exactly the same thing as Physician anaesthesiologist in practice. But I know most physicians would never want to agree with this

[@darscassel]

Many CRNAs don’t agree either. Would you want AAs to say that about CRNAs?

[@kib0t]

The questions are so good to get a better overall understanding of the CRNA world!

[@NursesToRiches]

Thanks for the great feedback!

[@613jasper]

Awesome video as always! People talk about CRNA as the next step after bedside all the time, but this is a first for me really learning the trade In Virginia Old Dominion University’s Nurse Anesthesia program is only $58k. Not per year, but total. In absolute steal of an investment for a doctorate

[@NursesToRiches]

Omg I was premed too and went with nursing so I could have a job to pay for med school, bc I wanted to learn something, and bc I wanted to be a doctor that learned holistic care. And now I’m thinking CRNA. I can’t believe other ppl are doing the same bc I was treated like I was insane for it

The acceptance rate for CRNA school is the same acceptance rate just for my local community college RN programs. Hundreds apply in my area and they take like 20-25/yr? Some of these schools are just ridiculous all the way around

[@JayFitNurse]

Sammmeeee I was a med student and a lot of surgeons tell me including chief of surgery that I should go the CRNA especially if I know I want to do anesthesiology

[@NursesToRiches]

[@faphane90]

Since you in Medical school, Instead of CRNA, go for anesthesiology.

@@NursesToRiches yea he said his wife is a CRNA and she lives the life he wants lol even my mentor who’s an anesthesiologist pushed me towards that… he said 12-13 years ago he’d say go for the medical school route but today and moving forward CRNA is a better lifestyle option

Not at all. You can pursue nursing and finish as a CRNA by the time you're 42 or you could pursue nursing and remain a nurse rather than continue onto your CRNA degree if you change your mind.

@Lordcampana what healthcare group offers that? For example, a university hospital type? BTW, you are so fortunate if you get it that education for free...

[@ykwtfim]

On the point about being supervised erroneously… personally I won’t mind if that happens. My pursuit of CRNA doesn’t include a need to be an independent practitioner. I fully understand why lots of people like that part of it, but if it keeps the OR civil& tones down the politics, Dr. Whoever can sit there with me& chill while I care for my patient. Not my budget to balance. No big! (:
