Future SRNAs and/or CRNA School Applicants

Published

Hi all! There were so many people who helped me on my journey into CRNA school so, as an SRNA/RRNA, I want to pay it forward and help anyone who has questions or needs advice on stats, interviews, school, etc. It can be a very competitive and sometimes discouraging process but BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! You will get here when it's your time and you won't look back. 🙂 Hang in there!

Has 3 years experience.

Any recommendation/advice/platforms on preparing for interviews and making you stand out?

Specializes in Med/Surg. Has 7 years experience.

Hi! I am just looking into going back to school to become a CRNA. A lot of stories are overwhelming. I was first a LPN in 2016 and RN in 2019. I have been working med/surg tele for almost a year now and am looking to transfer to the CCU. I work in a small hospital that does not have an ICU. Will CCU experience be enough to get me into school? I don't have many options because I live in a remote area. I would be able to go to school full time and not work when and if I get to that point, but I also have a child and would have to commute to school, there's only one school close enough to even commute to! Thanks for all the advice!! I feel so lost in where to even start!

Many programs take CCU experience, if not all.. I would look into your desired program and email them
