The Mindful Aspiring CRNA Podcast

Ep 5: Why is CRNA School so Hard?


Listen Later

Join me in this eye-opening episode of as I recount a personal story close to my heart: My husband's unexpected ICU stay from an anesthesia complication during his elective surgery served as a stark reminder as to why CRNA school is an inherently rigorous journey.

In this episode, we delve into four pivotal questions that underscore the importance of the CRNA path:

  • Why is CRNA school so rigorous?
  • Why should you prioritize excellence over speed?
  • Why is prior critical care experience a prerequisite?
  • Why is unwavering commitment and sacrifice always worthwhile?

These questions not only form the foundation of the episode but also shed light on the tremendous responsibility and skillset CRNAs must cultivate. Whether you're considering a CRNA career or in the midst of your CRNA journey this episode is a must-listen.

Don't miss the chance to gain valuable insights and a deeper understanding of what it truly means to be a vigilant CRNA.
