Overview of CRNA school didactic phase | Part 1

This is a comprehensive overview of what CRNA school at National University CRNA program has been like for me! This is the first part of 2 parts on what CRNA school has been like. In the next part, we will delve into the clinical site of CRNA school!

I am so glad I came across your channel. I’ve been an FNP for 8 years. Working on going back to school to become a CRNA.

David thank you for your videos. Man you really inspired me to become a pediatric nurse practitioner. You’re very kind and love your content man keep up the good work. Rooting for you to become a cnra. God bless you

[@user-sx3ts7xf2l]

Hi, Thank you for sharing your CRNA experience. I'm interested in preparing for the CRNA course while ensuring I still have time for my family. Could you please advise on the preparations I should undertake before starting the course? Specifically, are there any advanced studies or books you would recommend that I read in advance? Thank you!

What's up David. Appreciate the uploads man.

Got my BSN this year, new grad working in a CVICU. Currently taking Crna courses because the program will let me transfer them in and take less courses in the program. After Crna school, I'll probably do a part time acnp school so I can do CV anesthesia and ICU rounding on those patients!

[@healthbeets1519]

How are you taking crna courses without being in crna school?

[@HunterBSN]

@@healthbeets1519 I spoke with the program director and she allowed me to take some of the dnp classes only available in their anesthesia program. They assured me these courses will transfer into the program when I am officially accepted. I would recommend speaking to the director of an anesthesia program directly for this opportunity.

@@healthbeets1519they meant some science classes I think. Cause I am also doing that.

[@grantmorgan1794]

@@healthbeets1519many programs require biochemistry and other basic science courses in the first semester, and also accept transfer from other institutions.

[@HunterBSN]

​@@yunzhu4815 A University is allowing me to take actual Crna courses as a non degree seeking student to transfer them into the official program when I am accepted. Not general science course!

[@Ethan-si5tj]

Just curious, did you take the SAT in high school and if so what was your score?

[@zachmcpherson97]

Love your content, man. I’m in an accelerated BSN and plan on going the CRNA route, but your NP and RRNA perspective is very insightful. I’m curious about what kind of gear you use? Anything from stethoscopes, shears, shoes, scrub caps in a fun print? Just any kind of gear or getup you use!

I've been an RRT for 12 years. Got all the prereq's for PA school (BS in Biology), but feel like I would enjoy being a CRNA much better. It's the ICU nursing part and longer path that concerns me a little. By the time I'm done with nursing school I could have been a PA. I just can't see that I would enjoy PA or NP as much. I'm at a crossroads. I'm afraid I might regret going that route. If i choose PA I'm pretty much stuck. At least if I go to nursing school I have more options. Tough decision. I just want to be the dude who knows Exactly what I'm doing, the expert, not some mid level who doesn't know his butt from a hole in the ground. What do you think? Is it worth taking the longer path, and suffering through the ICU as an RN then CRNA school? Or should I just go be a software engineer?

AA-C. Your background is the same as that of many of the AA's I work with. Also, to be clear, I am a cath lab nurse but have many friends who work as anesthetists.

[@user-tx1ec9wb1z]

@@wef0711 Well, I shadowed a CRNA today for the first time. I intubated a patient in the Vascular lab this morning, and hung out for a bit. I felt at home, loved it. I'm going to intubate some more in the OR next week. So my mind's finally made up. On my way to becoming a CRNA, the good Lord willing.

[@wef0711]

@@user-tx1ec9wb1z Thats awesome man! Im not discouraging you one way or the other, but with a BS in biology, why go to nursing school, then through a CRNA program? Have you looked into Anesthesia Assistant programs? Either way, good luck with your education and career!

[@user-tx1ec9wb1z]

@@wef0711 Thank you for suggesting AA. I have looked at programs, but the closest one to me is in Georgia. I'm kinda trapped here in Tennessee, but I'm okay with doing an accelerated BSN program. I'll just tough it through the ICU. It won't kill me. Probably be good for me. At least I have the respiratory stuff down. We put in art lines with ultrasound too where I work, so my background should help quite a bit. I just need to intubate more and study up on my drugs.

CRNA needs serious financial and mental commitment. If you are financially good go for CRNA otherwise do software engineering.
