A still body can hide a restless mind. We take you inside the judgment calls that separate safe care from silent suffering, breaking down why sedation must come before paralysis, how to pick the right agent for the job, and what real monitoring looks like when movement disappears. 

Featuring CSPA faculty coach and Assistant Program Director at the University of Evansville Dr. Matthew Harmon, DNP, CRNA, tune in as we map the core properties of propofol, midazolam, ketamine, and dexmedetomidine, explaining where each shines, where they fall short, and how to combine them for ventilator tolerance, alcohol withdrawal, and smoother wake-ups.

From there, we get precise with neuromuscular blockade. Succinylcholine’s speed comes with serious risks—hyperkalemia, myalgias, malignant hyperthermia—while rocuronium offers rapid onset with the safety net of sugammadex for true reversal. Cisatracurium’s Hofmann elimination makes it the ICU favorite when organ failure limits options. We walk through high-yield RSI pairings for unstable patients, asthmatics, and trauma, emphasizing hemodynamic stability and airway planning with backup routes before giving the first dose.

Monitoring ties it all together. Learn how to set RASS targets, use BIS thoughtfully, interpret autonomic red flags like tachycardia and lacrimation, and titrate train-of-four to match goals in the ICU versus the OR. We also cover reversal pitfalls—flumazenil in benzodiazepine dependence, naloxone’s catecholamine surge—and share practical tips on IV integrity, ventilator settings, and post-intubation stabilization. If you’re preparing for CRNA school or refining ICU practice, this is a clear, actionable roadmap to safer sedation, smarter paralysis, and better outcomes at the bedside.

If this helped sharpen your practice, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a review so more ICU nurses and future CRNAs can find it.

Getting into CRNA school can feel overwhelming, especially when you start comparing GPA requirements and wondering what’s really “good enough.” Maybe you’re asking yourself, Do I need to retake science classes for CRNA school? Should I take graduate-level courses to boost my GPA? Will they even accept a class from Portage Learning? You’re not alone.

Many nurses applying to CRNA programs find themselves stressing over GPA requirements, figuring out which classes matter most and whether they should retake them, all while deciding how to boost their chances of getting accepted.

Today we break down CRNA GPA requirements, what schools actually consider competitive, and how to strengthen your application if your GPA is on the lower side. You’ll learn when retaking anatomy, chemistry, or microbiology makes sense, whether graduate-level pathophysiology or pharmacology courses can help, and how to pick programs that accept lower GPAs or focus on your last 60 credit hours.

Whether you’re sitting at a 3.0 GPA or trying to figure out how to recover from a low science GPA, this episode will help you understand your options and take the next step toward becoming a CRNA.

Key Takeaways

• Why some CRNA programs value graduate-level science courses and others don’t

• How to decide when retaking a prerequisite like A&P, stats, or microbiology makes sense

• Why schools care more about your science GPA than your overall GPA

• How to choose courses that actually help you show academic growth (not just repeat A’s)

• The truth about online classes like Portage or Phoenix — and how to confirm they’ll count

FREE! CRNA School Interview Prep Guide: https://www.cspaedu.com/uc9a5ih4

Have you ever wondered why your patient becomes tachycardic during intubation—or hypotensive when the surgeon hasn’t even made an incision yet? These aren't just random fluctuations. They're signals from the autonomic nervous system—and as a future CRNA, being able to interpret them can mean the difference between chasing vital signs and anticipating them.

If you're serious about anesthesia, understanding the autonomic nervous system (ANS) isn't optional—it’s essential. The ANS influences everything from anesthetic depth to hemodynamic management, and mastering its functions gives you a clinical edge both in school and in the OR.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• The difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
• Why understanding ANS function is crucial for interpreting anesthetic depth and hemodynamic trends
• How neurotransmitters like norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, and acetylcholine influence receptor activity
• The physiology of alpha, beta, and muscarinic receptors and how they guide pharmacologic decisions
• Real-world clinical examples that connect ANS theory to intraoperative decision-making
• Why the adrenal medulla plays a key role in the body’s fight-or-flight response
• How this knowledge directly applies to your future practice and board exams

In this special episode, Dr. Sass Elisha—a nationally recognized anesthesia educator and co-founder of The Nurse Anesthesia—walks you through the complex world of the ANS in a way that’s practical, clear, and rooted in real-life anesthesia scenarios.

By the end of this episode, you’ll not only understand the “yin and yang” of autonomic balance—you’ll be able to predict and respond to patient responses like a seasoned provider. This is foundational knowledge that will serve you from the classroom to the OR.

As Dr. Elisha would say, "It's go time!"
