Anesthesiotomy

You could probably get into CRNA school with your FNP degree and past ICU experience. Some programs will favor you as an applicant because of your grad school experience.

In my experience with my classmates, you likely want to be perfect/ get perfect scores etc. if you got into the programX you are a high performer. You beat so many applicants to get that spot. You worked your *** off. My program in the beginning sounded exactly like yours. It got a lot better once we knocked out most non-clinical stuff and got to the in person portion. My advice, don’t make a big deal about a few questions (who really cares at the end of the day if you missed out on a few points?) it’s all a drop in the bucket at the end of the day. If you want to do well, just work hard. its easy to forget the reality that the schools face too when they lose a student. You’re about 100K of lost revenue for the program when you leave (don’t feel bad leaving if it’s not for you!) But don’t for a second think at the end of the day what’s happening is personal or that they want you to fail. Im not in your exact situation, but I’ve been there, and I can say it’ll likely get better if you persist. Either way, take care of yourself and your mental health. It’s the priority over everything else.

Just graduate and then get into an ICU. Take some additional classes if you want to look like a stellar applicant. Get your CCRN as soon as possible. Maybe even take a grad level class. I have some classmates who did that. I got in at 2 years of ICU experience. There’s nothing wrong with knowing what you want and getting it done. Best of luck
