Good luck to everyone applying to Newman University's DNAP 2024 cohort! In the words of CRNA Jon Lowrance (Anesthesia Guidebook podcast), competition among applicants ends once CRNA school begins. To help cultivate this mindset, this forum is for applicants to share tips and pearls they've found along the way for preparing for the highly anticipated interview!
I'm reading "Thinking, Fast and Slow," "Make it Stick, the Science of Successful Learning," and "Costanzo's Physiology" to prep! Podcasts like "Anesthesia Guidebook," "Core Anesthesia," and "ACCRAC" have been helpful in giving me an idea of what to expect for both the interview and understanding the stress of CRNA school!
What have you found helpful? What pitfalls do you anticipate? What did you most enjoy from your shadowing experience?
Pursuing a career as a CRNA is no easy road. Sometimes the answer isn't what you hoped for. Bouncing back and fighting for your goal even harder the next time can only prove your determination and grit, and that experience can be used to make you an even stronger student than you would have been otherwise. Best of luck to all of you!
