4 months out --prep for CRNA School

Specialties CRNA

Published

Hello all,

I will be starting Albany med's program this September and was wondering how many of you (if any ) prepped for classes, books to buy that really helped etc.

I know many of you suggest resting up, because when it begins there is no rest. I am just trying to get a little jump!

I would relax and rest before you start because you are right, once you start there really is no break. Good luck!

forget the head start, enjoy every minute of freedom you have left

DO NOT STUDY AHEAD- your life as you know it will be over starting the first day of orientation. I'm serious, go to Fiji or something:-)

Is CRNA school that 'hard'? Not that I'm a brainiac, but some of the responses i hear make it seem like its med school.

I would also agree with all the above. Take the time now to enjoy life and free time. Even though I was told that I should expect to put in 70+ hours per week once school started...I never was able to comprehend how much time a week that really is until I was in the thick of studies.

Don't get me wrong...while I say it is a huge time consumption and your life will be over as you know now...you will enjoy most every minute and the material that you will learn. I wish I knew a lot of this stuff when I was a staff nurse in the ICU but now I am 17 months away from graduation and will get to apply it to my patients in the OR.

Good luck on your journey to what will be a great job!

Thank you all for your input. Resting doesn't sound to difficult. I will have to give it a try!
