After getting into CRNA School, What's next?

Published

Hello everyone!!

I guess I am a little nervous. I don't want to go to school unprepared. Anything that you wish that people told you to have? Like I have heard from some the need for a recorder. Anything else for current CRNA students? Any advice is appreciated!!!

Save as much money as possible.

Thanks. What helps is that my spouse will be working full time while I am in school. We already saved a bit for school, and are trying to pay as much as possible out of pocket to lower the amount from unsubsidized loans I may in the future have to take out.

Looking back, I wish I did this then. So spend time with your spouse. Go on vacation. Don't open your books. Don't think about anesthesia until it actually starts. Because honestly, once it starts, it's gonna be such a whirlwind that you're not gonna have time for any of that. Also, that way, you come in fresh. Just do all the admission stuff that your school requires you to do and leave it at that for now because they will own you for the next 2-3 years of your life. However, the prize in the end is absolutely worth it. Congratulations and best of luck!

Thank you! I've been busy working, but will take a week and a half off to relax before school starts.
