You prolly dont care at all but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Krew Daniel thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Being that she is a African-American CRNA! rare and I love it. I can't wait and i'm so happy I found this channel this will get me through nursing school.
I believe, no matter your nationality or gender or etc... If you want something bad enough you will work and fight to achieve it❤. I am happy you are a part of the Thrive CRNA family. I am actually West Indian from Trinidad and Tobago. Thanks for your comment. 😃
As a society and a world in general we need to learn to ask people how he or she wishes to be identified and we need to stop the cycle of automatically assuming that we know someone's background based on the color of that persons skin.
Awesome. Perfect age. You have so much opportunities ready for you. You have to believe in yourself and never give up on your dreams. Be diligent, focus on achieving good grades, be active in your community and extracurricular activities, etc...Focus on the future and you can start today. Start watch my videos to gain as much knowledge as possible.
I’ve always wanted to become a Anesthesiologist but I want to start my career kinda early so I’ve decided to become a nurse anesthetist and I think it’s the best decision I made as a 14 year old. I want to prepare and know what I want to do for my future.
I would love to be a CRNA as well that's my goal. I just started my nursing school 2 weeks ago. I love OR you get to see the best and worst scenario. I am 20 I will graduate next year as a Nurse🤎.
Wow! You seem so pleasant! I’m LVN working on my BSN and I work in eye surgery doing pre/post op. Most of the CRNAs we have are very rude and degrading so it’s nice to watch your videos and seeing someone who is so nice.
Thanks for your kind words. Happy to hear your working on your BSN. No matter where you work, there will be good and bad apples. I would recommend shadowing a CRNA at another facility to give you a different perspective of CRNA practice.
I turned 17 just over a month ago. I haven’t been able to complete my AS year due to the coronavirus however I still have hope. I would love to become a CRNA. Still figuring out where to start, etc. :)
it literally just dawned on me that you are married to wise flys. i've been seeing the family pics in your videos but it just clicked now. love both your channels!
Yes, you are the second person who noticed. We love to travel the world almost free and on a budget. Wiseflys is great with travel points and miles and I am all about educating on CRNA as a career. We love being on TH-cam for you as well as others.
I know you can’t record your patients. But is it possible that maybe we can get a vlog of you doing the things you mentioned in the video?Or maybe a talk between you and your colleagues who are Crnas as well?
Thank you I look forward to it. I’m taking the first steps now and applying to accelerated bsn programs so I have a way to go. But these videos are very insightful so thank you again.
What opportunities do CRNAs have outside of the OR? I just started in the ICU and like it a lot, so I don't know if I want to stop working in an ICU setting to switch to an OR setting which I do not enjoy as much. I like the flow of the ICU, the variety, the patient interaction, and being able to help out my coworkers elsewhere on the floor, as well as the visits from other members of the interdisciplinary teams to the floor when they do patient consults.
Great question. I truly enjoyed the skill set I developed in the ICU setting as well as developing close relationships with my coworkers and my patients families. Here is a video that might be able to help you with your decision, thanks for watching: th-cam.com/video/dbfvwVwhkjw/w-d-xo.html
there how difficult this job is so simple turkey. After graduating from high school, you can study in an anesthesia program for 2 years and start working. I started working at the age of 19. but it was more practical than theoretical lessons. We worked in the operating room for 8 hours every day during the internship.
How hard is it to find a job that you want after graduation? More specifically, how hard it is to find a place that you can work 7am-3 everyday and have a relatively normal work schedule (for a medical field job) since that is what I would eventually prefer but it is hard to find information on that. Also, if you have that shift structure, do you generally get paid less? Awesome vids and they’re super helpful but it seems to be hard to find info on this anywhere I look.
Hi there. This was so inspiring! Can you tell me if the work is demanding? Do you feel like you work a lot or on call all the time? How’s the balance between the work and family time. I’m thinking about going into this field and wanted to know how that is like
Thrive CRNA been an awesome place as a new grad. I feel like I’ve gotten good at a little bit of everything (Ivs, NG, OG, central lines) skill wise. I’m just ready to move up in the nursing ladder and get away from standard bedside. CRNA has always interested me I’m doing research before I apply at the end of the year (I’ll have 2 years of crit care exp by then as well)
Hello, I am 33years old. I’m thinking of starting my BSN next year. My goal is to be a CRNA. Sometimes, I have doubts because of my age and I feel it’s too late. I would love for you to share your insight
I’m going to nursing school this year and I strongly want to pursue becoming a CRNA. I’ve done some research and I keep running into DNP vs DNAP. I’m very confused about which one of these degrees to pursue in order to practice as a CRNA with no limits in the profession. Is it possible to become a CRNA with either one of these degrees. Can you clear up the confusion for me please ❤️ Love your channel. It’s not only helpful with information about the career but I’ve kinda began looking to you as a role model because of your professionalism, knowledge and transparency. Please keep up the good work. Thanks
Thank you for your comment and kind works. I recommend that you watch this video to help answer your question: th-cam.com/video/rVHZP0TDen4/w-d-xo.html
Thrive CRNA ❤️ thank you so much for replying. I watched the video and it doesn’t really resolve my question as to if either degree (DNP or DNAP) allows an individual to work as a CRNA. I think I’ll just do a little more research. Then again, maybe my question just doesn’t make sense because of my confusion. Lol Thanks again.
@@jasmineburgess9029 CRNA: DNP vs DNAP: They are essentially the same thing in regards to advanced practice nursing degree. The main difference is research based vs clinical practice based degrees. It depends on your personal preference. They will both lead you to become a CRNA.
How do you know how much anesthesia to use/put in the person? Do you have to do any calculations prior or you're told how much anesthesia to use/ to wake them up? Also, how do you know what medications to bring out? Does someone tell you or do you learn it in school?
I'm in my first year of nursing school studying to become a RN and I want to be a CRNA or a NICU Nurse. What should I do after I graduate with my BSN to purse those? Should I do extra studies in school even after graduating with my RN license?
@@ThriveCRNA thank you so much for responding! I appreciate it and thank you. As soon as I graduate I will try to work in the ICU then do CRNA. Be safe ❤❤❤
Here is a video that can help you with that specific question: th-cam.com/video/mmzzkpY6QDc/w-d-xo.html I have a bunch of playlists that can guide you to helping you decide if this is a career for you as well as motivation and personal development techniques.
I totally understand. I would recommend reaching out to a CRNA school you are interested to ask international related questions and requirements as well as contacting aana.com and NBCRNA website.
I need one more year and I will get into the nursing program and this video helped a lot thank u so much but do u go to work everyday or 5 days a week as full time?
At my facility, we have a variety of shifts. You can work five 8 hour shifts, four 10 hour a shift, OB 24 hour shift with two 8 or 10 hour shifts. It also rotates depends on the week or month.
Thrive CRNA I get that I just meant for parts like the morning routine, breaks, coming back from work such parts then the hospital part you could do the pictures thing you've done but either way thanks
Being a BSN RN, I believe you will not have a problem with getting a ICU nursing position and hopefully if you work hard. You will become a CRNA with diligence.
In CRNA school, you will learn your routine depending on case. Thus, when you are practicing anesthesia on your own. You will be confident in your skill set.
Good question. Every OR, you will definitely have a chair to sit. You are allowed to sit or stand. I usually sit for long cases as long as my patient is stable. Thanks for your comment.
Hi I’m 15 years old and I have decided that I want to be CRNA. In my school there is a cna(nursing assistant) , cma (medical assisting), and emt program and I choose the cma program. However I am wondering if I should have choose the CNA one instead or does it not matter?There are benefits with any one I choose.
I am 28 right now and it will take me 8 years to do CRNA school. What do you think about going back to school this late in life-- I'll be 36 by the time I begin work. Also how do you think this work affects people with families?
If you want to pursue a career as a CRNA, nothing should stop you, especially age. Dreams require sacificing. Here is a few videos that will help answer your questions: th-cam.com/video/2ZzpumExV18/w-d-xo.html , th-cam.com/video/ZbQENsu2OAk/w-d-xo.html , th-cam.com/video/R0r4DGknNZk/w-d-xo.html
In 8 years you will be 36 by the time you graduate and start work. In 8 years you will still be 36 with or without schooling.... So why not be 36 with the job you truly want??
I worked in the ICU for about 5 years. I wanted to be an NP and was in school. Then, I decided to become a CRNA. There was a minimum of 1 year of experience required.
how long did it take you to become a crna? I'm an Lpn right now and I want to further my education. I've always waned to become a crna but was worried about how long it would take. I'm almost 30 with kids and I don't want to spend every waking moment either in school or at work
Does ICU experience from a level I “University” hospital look better than ICU experience from another Level I, non university hospital? I have 2 interviews coming up and trying to find the best option.
It depends on your experience in the ICU. It looks good to work at a teaching hospitals. However, if your work at a small hospital with the mindset to challenge yourself and obtain a wide range of ICU experience.
I'm a nursing student in Sri Lanka.I like to be a CRNA.But unfortunately no CRNA schools in our country. If I will come to USA, Can I become a CRNA? Please tell me.
I would recommend contacting the NBCRNA and AANA on specific requirements for an international Registered Nurse. I recommend checking out these video: th-cam.com/video/_fiq8mtWGiQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/TNLBV8e6Ptk/w-d-xo.html
Hello @Thrive CRNA, I am currently trying to apply for pharmacy school and work as a pharmacy technician however I am conflicted with being a CRNA vs pharmacy; one of the reasons I am considering CRNA is the challenge it brings about with various in comparison to being a pharmacist? Also, the job outlook for pharmacists is very low; I am scared of graduating and being in debt with a low salary to pay off my loan. what will be your advice and suggestion
Hi, I am a high school graduate researching majors. I have a couple questions, 1) Can you start as a crna and work your way up to become an anesthesiologist (even with some study?) 2) Is CRNA school different from medical school?
Thrive CRNA thanks for responding! Do you have a video on your crna journey? Were you already a crna before kids? I want to be a crna but I don’t know if it can be attainable as I have a kid.
In high school, I had average grades. When I was in college, I had good grades and retook classes to improve my grades. Here is a video that can help your answers. th-cam.com/video/kC_sNPBr5Ws/w-d-xo.html
doesnt a crna go throug like 11 years of college and nursing school? i want to be a crna but i just dont know if all the school is worth it and i heard it is very competitive.
Hi ma'am, This is Mr. Raj, from INDIA, did my masters in nursing with med-surg & my sub speciality is oncology nursing, I joined in my Ph.D program in dept of Radiotherapy, I've a great passion towards anesthesia & pain control for my patients. Plz suggest me a good college to pursue my nurse anesthesia course & fee structure.... Suggest me good country....
Thanks for sharing your story. I went to SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn NY. I would highly recommend my school, however, the CRNA program is not active at this time. I would recommend researching areas and CRNA programs your are interested in. It will depend on the type of program size, state, etc...I hope this helps.

Id like to know if you're doing 8 hour cases if you have to stand? How long do you normally stand for?

Does ICU experience from a level I “University” hospital look better than ICU experience from another Level I, non university hospital? I have 2 interviews coming up and trying to find the best option.
It depends on your experience in the ICU. It looks good to work at a teaching hospitals. However, if your work at a small hospital with the mindset to challenge yourself and obtain a wide range of ICU experience.
I’m 16 and I’m stuck between pediatric nursing and crna...is college work harder for crna’s?
I would recommend shadowing a CRNA and a pediatric NP. It will help you figure out which one your interested in.
Do anesthesiologists have different responsibilities than CRNAs???
It depends on the hospital. We can do the same job. However, CRNA's are advanced practice registered nurses and anesthesiologist are medical doctors.
I'm a nursing student in Sri Lanka.I like to be a CRNA.But unfortunately no CRNA schools in our country. If I will come to USA, Can I become a CRNA? Please tell me.

Hello @Thrive CRNA, I am currently trying to apply for pharmacy school and work as a pharmacy technician however I am conflicted with being a CRNA vs pharmacy; one of the reasons I am considering CRNA is the challenge it brings about with various in comparison to being a pharmacist? Also, the job outlook for pharmacists is very low; I am scared of graduating and being in debt with a low salary to pay off my loan. what will be your advice and suggestion
I would recommend shadowing a CRNA and a pharmacist. Follow your heart ❤
Thrive CRNA 🙏🏾 Thank you
