Ep 24: Real Talk: Your Top Questions on the CRNA Journey Answered


Listen Later

You asked & I answered!  

I recently did a LIVE on IG and there were a TON of questions in the chat so I thought I'd do something different and answer them in this episode.

Whether you're applying to CRNA school, in the thick of school, or a new grad navigating your first job, I’ve got practical tips, encouragement, and honest insight to help you thrive.

Here's what I cover: 

  • Is it worth it to do Mock Interviews? 

  • What to do if you have a low GPA

  • How to study for the GRE & CCRN?

  • How to secure shadowing 

  • Should I work independently or do locums right out of CRNA school?

  • Are you supported & respected at CRNA only facilities? 
  • What is the work-life balance as a CRNA for real? 

  • How do I best support my spouse who is in CRNA school? 

  • Do I have any regrets about becoming a CRNA?

This one’s a mix of personal experience and encouragement. Enjoy!
