THIS is how I got into CRNA school on my first try

This video is all about how I got into CRNA school on my first admission cycle. CRNA school admission can be challenging, but use these tips to get in on the first try! This is a video I recorded back in 2022 during my didactic year of CRNA school.

I love the tip about taking a break. 3 years dedicated to school after many years for school is a huge commitment.

I’m in the stage of taking courses to boost my science GPA. I too got C’s in a&p II and micro, which is cringing for me lol but I don’t want to let it hinder me. Thanks for this insight!

[@DavidWarrenNP]

Best of luck applying! Grades do not define you, and there are ways to overcome those obstacles.

Take an English class too

This has been so informative for prepping for CRNA! Thank you for going all the way back to high school lol! 😂

[@DavidWarrenNP]

High school 🤣🤣🤣

[@MusaAlmiggabber]

This was very informative. I’m in nursing school right now, ABSN and although I’m studying for 8-12hrs some days I feel as if I may not be studying correctly. I have a deep understanding of the material, especially in conversation with my peers but that doesn’t seem to translate on the exams. Any advice?

Great information

Thank you for watching!

David, I have not watched all of your videos, but do you mind sharing how old you are? I am 36 and afraid that I am too old for a CRNA school. What's the average age of your peers? I was thinking about becoming an NP but I have some serious concerns about mid-level providers and their education being completely online :(

[@00nichole100]

I am 32 and plan on applying next summer to start in 2025. I’ll be 38 by the time I finish (assuming I get accepted for the 2025 cohort). I also thought about my age. But I am settled with kids and a supportive spouse who is already on board with moving my whole family to wherever I get accepted.

Great tips!! You rock man! I really enjoy donating to the CRNA Foundation, since it was hard for me to go to college after I graduated high school in 08 because of my cerebral palsy! Do you know how can I become a patient advocate for CRNA?

[@DavidWarrenNP]

Hey Darrion. Thanks for watching! I would check out the AANA website- there are pages dedicated to spreading word of CRNAs, and information for patients. You can also check out the NBCRNA website, as well, which is our credentialing body.

[@princessnico7025]

Hello! Freshman year i was majoring in biology to become a RN. Chemistry kicked my butt and i got my first science “C” grade. This led me to switching majors to psychology out of fear that i couldn’t do it. Does chemistry continue to build on after undergrad? And did you struggle with it too? Any words would be appreciated. Thanks.

[@abdelrahmanabouelnour5367]

Can you elaborate on how you were admitted to CRNA without ICU experience? I was just hired for level 1 trauma ED but now I think I want to transfer to the ICU to become a CRNA.

[@dylanperalez3939]

@@abdelrahmanabouelnour5367 hmm maybe surgical/ OR experience

[@maxbad99]

Do you think it is possible to go from pmhnp to crna?

[@DavidWarrenNP]

If you have the ICU experience, grades, and motivation- then yes.
