This was SO HELPFUL!! I am applying to CRNA school and this helped me out so so so much!! I love how honest you were about everything! When I was in nursing school I really felt like I put my life on hold for those 2 years but in the end it was so worth it! I have no doubts this will be to! I love the idea of allowing time for everything during the week to stay on track! You are an inspiration!!
Im starting accelerated program this september in Canada, and my dream is to go to usa to become a CRNA. Wish me luck 🙏
Me right now. I feel like I can’t do anything. I have one year left I’m trying to hang in there
So what happened
Just accepted a position into a new grad ICU residency- love your videos, just binged and excited for more content
I’ve spent so much time putting my life on hold for so many things that this would just be one more and it would be so worth it!
Girl I am so glad I found you! I truly love your channel!! I am in nursing school right now and CRNA is my end goal! I didn’t know it was a requirement to do ICU for 2 years until your video but that was my plan anyway I love high paced environment hard work and challenges. Literally how I live my life and you answered sooo many of my questions I love it
I completely agree! I absolutely love fast-paced and challenging environments. I am completing my prerequisites for nursing school and I was thinking about becoming an NP but now i’m looking at CRNA! i hope everything works out for you!! Best of luck girl!
(Not CRNA related, but I can kinda relate…)
You’re so right about family sacrifice. My daughter is getting her masters in genetic counseling and had been living with her fiancé for over a year but her program is three tiered and moved her three times so after living together for over a year she had to move over 8 hours away from him. Now she just moved again….12 hours away! He’s getting his bachelors in mechanical engineering and will graduate in December. They’re getting married December 18th and he will move up to where she is. She will graduate June 2022.
My poor daughter is so stressed out too. She calls me crying at least once a week. It’ll all be worth it!!
I am a new grad BSN-RN and I am hoping to do all the right things so I can set myself on the path to being accepted into CRNA school. Truly appreciate your videos! You are a role model for me and I hope I can become a CRNA like you someday
@@TheWildFam thank you so much! I am subscribed to your channel for life haha! You absolutely are my role model and I hope in a few years I will be where you are. Thank you again for your amazing videos ❤️
Are you in a CRNA school right now
Just picked up my cap and gown from my RN program. Long way to go still...but you're so inspiring!!!! Goals. Just Goals.
Super helpful! I'm going back to school to become a nurse and becoming a CRNA was my end goal. HOWEVER, I don't think I will be super comfortable possibly being away from my children for 3 years! Thankfully, I still have 4 years to figure that out and see about making it work but Thank you for this video!
Omg I love your bubbly personality for such a high stress position. I’m barely in a year of correctional nursing. But your so inspiring to consider CRNA.
Thanks for the info! I had a really good conversation with a cousin of mine who’s a CRNA and he suggested that I should apply to programs that don’t require the GRE, that way you have one less test to worry about. However, programs that don’t require GRE tend to place more emphasis on other areas of your application. He also suggested to pick at least 5 programs to apply to to increase your chances of being accepted to at least one of them.
That would be nice for sure but yeah could be a little harder to get in. All the programs I was interested in required it but If there is a good program near you that doesn’t go for it!
@@TheWildFam so while you clearly know more than I do as I am nowhere near being in that field yet and you are, meaning please don't take this as disrespectful and if you do...🤷🏼♀️. That being said, you say they want to know you are dedicated, hard-working as a result of a work ethic instilled long ago & annnnd mayyyybeee...will operate first and foremost with integrity.
That said, isn't that what basically almost everybody says? I was watching those videos by Dr Ryan gray saying you don't want to be the typical average student with the same admission letter they read all day long. I'm just curious because I want to make sure I don't send in a cookie-cutter letter that they read from everybody else.
@@thetiffanystevenson ha no offense taken. What I mean is find a way to stand out. Get their attention. What makes you unique & how can you use that to show case those quality’s I talked about. For me, I am #9 of 11 kids and I started working at age 13 cleaning houses. I grew up poor and knew if I wanted to get anywhere in life I was going to have to work harder than everyone else around me… etc etc. I painted a picture highlighting those qualities and told my story in a way that made them want to meet me!
@@TheWildFam Ahhhhh, ok. Thank you SO much. I worked inflicting things about this but I'm a retired prescription drug addict, I HATE saying in recovery because to me it sounds like you're not quite there, with 16 years clean and I've thought about explaining from there to now and how the cognitive change long-term rehab I went to totally changed my life. I don't just mean because I'm clean, I mean in the sense that I use cognitive psychology in daily life and raising my son trying to teach him how his choices can affect others & nothing anybody says, doesn't say, does or doesn't do determines how you feel as it's a choice because thoughts create feelings meaning they are a choice, etc.
wow this is one of the few honest videos i have seen on CRNA. i absolutely love all your videos!! i have been binge watching everything ..im working on my bsn right now and will be done next august i feel so old and like i wasted a bunch of time. im 28 and my dream career has been to become a CRNA but i dont thing im smart enough by any means. My boyfriend also wants to do CRNA, he just got his LPN-RN and is working on his bsn now!
I got my BSN in 2010,I worked like 9 years on cardiacsurgery and there is where i fell in love with anesthesia,I want to try to become CRNA,espeacially on cardiac surgery
SO NICE.
I like your video so much. The job of crna is challenging and stressed but it well paid and worth your time,all medicine is there👀
@@TheWildFam Thanks a lot .
I can totally see why you wanted to get into the interview phase to show who you are to adcoms. You have a very charming personality 😊 Thank you for all the info! Makes me so excited to think of a career as a CRNA.
thanks lady! Go after it lady!!
This was a fantastic video! You are so well versed and informative. Straight to the point. I love that. Keep the videos coming. Just started my first nursing job as a new grad and went straight to the ICU. CRNA, I’m on my way! #futurecrna
How do you go straight from nursing school to icu?
Wow congratulations!!! My friend also finished nursing school and got a job in the ICU !! Congratulations 🎉 !!!! That is my goal as well!!!
Grateful for the advice 🙏🏾 I'm currently in nursing school thinking about becoming a CRNA. I just subscribed and will be tuned throughout my journey. Thanks again for sharing!
Great vid! I graduate with my BSN in less than 6 months and have been considering the CRNA route down the road. You did a thorough job cutting to the chase. Thank you!
Just got accepted into CRNA school and I’m BEYOND EXCITEDDDDDDD!!
Awe congrats girl!!! You got this
Thank you so much! You are so pretty. I’ve been thinking about going the CRNA route
Such a thorough honest video. Definitely do your homework with any nursing program. My nursing program was on probation for their crappy pass/fail rate which transferred to us as students. There was literally no margin for error because they were trying to weed out those who they felt wouldn’t pass their boards. Thankfully I passed every class because you were kicked out of the program if you didn’t pass a class.
Thank you for sharing! Great information and reflective questions.
first!! and sooo excited about seeing this vid in my subs!💚✨
Structure is Key :) totally agree!
The scheduling everything in! Thanks for that I thought it might be doing too much
Great video. Thank you for the information, very helpful!!
Thank you so much for sharing, I’m currently in nursing school now and I’m set on becoming a crna and this was so helpful
Amazing video
Hi! New subscriber! Could you dedicate a video on the politics of CRNA and anesthesia MD’s? Including your experience of how your coworkers has treated you, their opinions, or something? Thank you for trying to level people up!!
@@TheWildFam thank you!
Awesome content! Thank you so much for sharing!
I love this video. Thank you! You explained everything in a way that was so easy to understand. So grateful for this!
One of the most helpful videos I've seen on this journey 💛
Bam 💥 GPA right now is 3.8 🥰🥰 I wanted to be a Dietitian, but now….. I’m loving the Science, my Biology classes and Chem. I’m addicted. I have one more year for my associates in Liberal Science, after this year I will ask my advisor which Nursing program will land me a better outcome. ❤️❤️ I’m from Boston and we have some amazing schools 🥰 I’m actually in Pharmacology, and Aced Medical Terminology. That’s what made me addicted. My husband works full time, I’m actually 32 and knowing how to manage my time. Pretty much I spend 8-12 hours on the books. We have a son and the last 3 years of my final studies my son will be old enough to handle things while I’m in school.
SOOOOO HELPFUL THANK YOU SO MUCH!
So you're a model for Vogue right when you have the time off!! So I'm a cross-country truck driver out of Bakersfield California currently sitting in Needles California on my way to Longmont Colorado well there's quite a bit to take away from your videos which are very interesting number-one you know what the meaning of commitment is what a laser focus you had to have amazing I just subscribed really enjoy your videos I'm Scott Downing out of the land of fruits and nuts California!! I will stay tuned bye bye for now
Thanks so much for your reply!! I just finished driving for the day I am now in New Mexico up near Colorado I still can't help but think about your commitment to your education and how difficult you said it was and you can tell by watching you in your videos that you're good at what you do really impressive what a professional!! Bye-bye thanks again for answering Scotty
i love all your CRNA videos so much!! Thanks a ton for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
I’ll never get a good job like this but it’s nice to learn about it
I really enjoyed this video. It was so encouraging and honest.
I’m so glad!
Thank you, great video. New to your TH-cam. I am going to share with some of my nursing friends who are thinking about going to CRNA school.
thank you very much. I am graduate with my BSN next summer. Looking forward to going to CRNA school in the future. 🙏
@@TheWildFam Hello Sarah, how can I email you with questions? Do you have IG or FB account?
@@TheWildFam thank you
thank you so much, you save me!
Wow. This is good information. Thx
Thank you so much for this! This is probably the most informative video I have seen yet 👍
New subscriber- love love love all the CRNA content. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences!
Thank you so much!
Your intro is soooo cute lol ❤ anyways I just found you and i love your videos. I’m working on lpn-bsn and going towards my crna or np. I’m juggling btw both
Thank you!
I start in January so... fairly anxious
Haha love this video gurrrrrlll
love your honesty
New subscriber and NEW to the idea of this career. Is it more difficult starting this career without being a nurse already. I have no medical experience I’ve invested my years to motherhood and customer service work at restaurants and stores. Any advice, books or recommendations on jumping into this career path. I appreciate your videos they’re detailed with a lot of my questions and they were answered here.
Are you able to make a video from the beginning when you started nursing how was the process/experience for you.
Thank you so muchhhh for all this insight !!!! BIG question, do you study at home more or in school with colleges more preferred?
I would love to ask you --- what are your thoughts on going to CRNA school as a mom? I am entering my last year of prerequisites for my BSN and I have been focused on CRNA for the past year, soaking in information and envisioning myself going down that path. I am already a nontraditional nursing student, as I am 33 and a mother of three. My oldest is currently 14, my middle child is 7 and my youngest is 5. I still have at minimum 5 years before I would be entering a CRNA program having said that in order to obtain the ICU experience I would need. My family is very supportive, my husband is incredible, and we are celebrating ten years of marriage this year. Having said all that, do you feel that it is possible for moms to be successful in CRNA school with children that are in their preteens/teens or just in general? Also thank you for your channel! I really enjoy your videos and you taking the time to share your knowledge.
Hi! I am in a very similar boat - little older and my kids a little older but still same deal! I fully intend on entering CRNA school and I think having support from your family and spouse is really key. Obviously I can’t answer as to how difficult it is to juggle but personally I figure I’ve made it this far juggling, I’m going to go for the gusto! Good luck to you!
@@kjv3192 that is exactly what I have been thinking! I just fear looking back on "missing out" on my children's lives and feeling like I chose CRNA over them --- it seems that the decision can be turned into that so I would love the perspective tackling that angle. I do believe and agree that sacrifices are hard, but so often worth it. I just fear missing the time with my children and regretting it or if the lifestyle after graduating really just makes it worth it. Thank you for replying to me as well and best of luck to you!
@@jaymel5522 I have the same fears. I just finished my ADN and remember having those same fears starting nursing school in general but it all worked out and i was able to balance everything well. My kids are 17, 13, & 9 now and I won’t be starting (if i get in and at the earliest) until my 2nd child is just out of HS so maybe think of how much more grown they will be by the time you enter the program. 🤷🏼♀️ lots to think about and luckily there is time to iron that all out
@@jaymel5522 Absolutely! I went back to CRNA school with a 1 and 2 year old at home. I had a 90 minute drive to school and back. Do your homework and network with other mothers in the program now. Network with their husbands too. You will need a very supportive family and husband. This is doable but you ALL have to be ALL in for this. It flies by so fast. It will be hard at times. Stay on track, work you A$$ off and get it done. Don’t EVER miss a day of school or clinical. Show up earlier than expected. You will be glad you went back. I had 2 young children, graduated top of my class, received clinical excellence, leadership, and summa cum laude. It can be done. It is hard, but so worth it!
I am in my 2nd year of CRNA school right now, and have 4 kids, I have 10, 8, 6, and 2. Our financial situation wasn’t great so I have been working throughout school as well which has been really hard. But my wife has been doing her pre-reqs for nursing school while I have been in CRNA school and she is gonna start this journey once I am done. We are 32, so similar age. This is definitely something you can do with some hard work, and it will make it so much easier with your supportive husband and hopefully are financially stable, because school loans are not enough. As far as your kids, ya, some things you are going to miss out on for sure, but it is only going to be a few years and you will not only provide a much better life for them financially, but you will also be such a great example of hard work and success to your kids. It will let them know that they can always pursue their dreams even if it’s later in life. These are conversations I have had with my wife on multiple occasions. You can do it
Oh. My. God. I don’t even have my associates yet and I already wanna vomit from the nerves when thinking about the CRNA school 😭
Haha one step at a time!
Hi, thanks for sharing your CRNA journey. Could you recommend some books for me to read? I'm planning to advance my studies, and I want to ensure I have time to spend with my family without worrying about being unprepared for the topics I need to study. Thank you in advance
Your eyes are stunning omg
What did you mean by, you wanted to be able to do "regional anesthesia?" Is that referring to the accreditation of the school and is that an important factor in choosing a program? Thank you for all the tips and time you spend doing this.
@@TheWildFam that makes sense. Thank you for the reply! Keep the content coming…when you have “spare” time.
I’m in nursing school now for a BSN
Do you have any tips on how to get into ICU nursing as a new grad RN? Thank you!!
When you were in CRNA school did you work at all? What are your recommendations on working while in school?
Hi. Thank you for this video. I'm 38. I'm trying to get into the program because it's been my dream carrier. But I will need to work. I did it before with Nursing School, and I did very and graduated Summa Cum Laude. My only worry is not being able to work. I will need to.
Hey! I would find a front loaded program then.. that would probably be your best bet!!
Hii am new here.l like your video.please share everything about anesthesia you know.i am first year anesthesia student
I love your video, very informative! I saw your video said Florida. So, I was wondering if you completed your schooling in florida; that's where I'm from. I am currently trying to pick a masters that interests me and then work backwards from there. I have my RN but I feel like if I apply for a BSN program at a school that has the same masters CRNA program I like, then I have a better chance of getting in. Did you apply to the same school you got your BSN at? If not where did you get your BSN and which CRNA school did you apply for? Thank you!
Hi omg I’m so glad I found your channel!
I decided I want to go to CRNA school and I will be a senior in my nursing program this fall. I start a pca job in an icu in the Texas medical center this week, and my nursing gpa so far is a 3.8 and cumulative is a 3.5. I really want to start applying as soon as I can to CRNA schools because I know that’s what I want to do. I’m hoping that I can get a job in the icu that I am working at after I graduate. How did you decide which schools to look at and how did you go about choosing them based on the experience required? I know a lot of schools require 1year by the time of application but others require it by the start date. Also did you take organic chemistry for your schools? I am taking gen Chem 2 this summer because I know some schools require that but I don’t know if I should plan on taking orgo after I graduate or if I should just look at schools that don’t require it
please do a video about crna INTERVIEW!
You are goals! Also, your ring is so beautiful! 😍 what carat is it if you don’t mind me asking?
Hi.Fantastic Video.Just wanted to ask as I don't know where and how to start.Is there a specific MSN/MAN program for your undergrad that is a requirement to get into Anesthesia school?Thank U
hi! i have been an ICU/CVICU nurse for 7 years and i want to go to CRNA school in 2 years-i think apply next year start the following fall. this is something i’ve been working towards since before undergrad but i had an unplanned pregnancy 5 years ago and here we are i’m waiting for my two kids to go to school because i know it’s going to be HARD and time consuming. anyways, i’ve been out of school for a while now and i have time before i would start a program so i’m curious if you have recommendations for classes i should take before starting anesthesia school to refresh and prepare myself? just found your channel and grateful for your content! thank you!
Hi! I was wondering how long your clinical hours are? Can you go whenever throughout the semester to complete your clinical hours or is there a certain day out of the week that is designated as your clinical day? Thanks in advance!
I did 40 hrs a week. And my school set up my clinical hrs - dif at every location! I didn’t have any say
What is your opinion on going into CRNA school with 1 year of ICU experience? Do you feel that it will be harder or more challenging vs someone who was 2+ years of experience?
The Wild Fam thank you so much! I actually just recently got accepted but have been nervous that I’m going to be at a disadvantage due to experience. This made me feel much better!
Amazing video, you cleared a lot of things up. I might sound silly for this but when you said 1-2 years of ICU experience we’re working in the ICU we’re getting paid right ? Just making sure because I’m just switching careers into nursing and I’m confused
Yep you get paid!!
We gotta know the GRE score you got!
Hi, Love your video! If you were to take extra classes, what classes would you recommend to take? This:)
Sorry for the late reply!! Would these be prep classes for Crna school?
Thanks for the vid! … I want to apply in the future… I’m not the greatest math person.. is it true that you have to be able to do math in your head ? .. and any tips for math while in school ?
It helps to be able to do simple math in your head but you can absolutely always use paper/calculator if you need to! We all have different strengths
Can you discuss how dangerous a fever is during surgery. I have heard that it can be deadly
@@TheWildFam yes I believe malignant hyperthermia was the problem with a co-worker … she came very close to passing away and I can’t wrap my brain around how a sudden fever could be so dangerous.
Thank you for all of the info! New subscriber here... I am also in FL! Which school did you go to if you don’t mind me asking? And would you recommend it?
@@TheWildFam I was actually looking at Barry as one of my choices, but the Orlando campus. I haven’t really been able to find anyone that went through their program to talk with….. is it front loaded or integrated and how were the clinical sites?
Not sure if you'll see this but I have a few questions... I'm currently in my last year of finishing up my BSN degree at a prominent university here in Texas. Having children is what fueled my desire to switch career fields from the oil and gas industry and go into the medical field. I have three little ones now, but how did you balance spending time with your loved ones while in school? I often times feel extremely guilty whenever I am unable to almost see them at all because I'm busy studying. I have two boys from my first marriage who are 5 and 4, and my little baby girl is almost 2 with another relationship after the divorce.
Hey there!! All I can say is it will not be easy during school. But if you can find a way to get through it will be so worth it!!
Do you have any advice for someone who is an ‘average’ student other then a really good admissions letter? Would you recommend retaking any classes that were scored low in? Extra certifications? Etc. thank you!!😊
@@TheWildFam thank you so much I appreciate it!
What was the answer to this? I have gpa of 2.9
Lmao...This is her side hustle! Unless you are a hot ass chick... good luck landing an OR job or ICU Job right out of RN school-debt... not reality. Hence the word job, because It’s a job not a career. Honestly the crazy standards of 4.0, and not working, and a 200k for CRNA school. Lol good luck, see the comments they all say “good luck” lol. not to be a Debby downer but 99% of these people are grifters!
Where were you when I needed you? Lol!
@@TheWildFam lol!
Hi! I'm not sure if you will see this - I'm currently in an accelerated BSN program and about to graduate in a few months. For the ICU experience, do you know if it matters whether or not it's adult or pediatric ICU? Thank you!!
No it doesn’t matter but acuity does!!
Love your videos. Do you have degree?
I really want to be an OR nurse...and know most require a bachelors. But I don’t know if I then might wanna be a CRNA later down the line...do I go for the RN to BSN. Or RN to MSN ? Cause I don’t know which track I’d choose ? Cause I do not think I want to be a NP. I’m torn...cause I applied originally for RN to BSN ...to start later next month...but should I tell them to change it to RN to MSN? I have no idea what to do. BSN or MSN?
@@TheWildFam thank you so much!!!
I'm considering this but also worried about when to have kids. I'm 32...and at least 1 year out from applying. Do we have a baby now? Or do I wait to be in my late 30s? That's my ONLY hang up.
It’s doable either way!! You need to evaluate what is best for you. The nice thing is baby will be young enough to not be super affected by you being gone a lot !
The closest level 1 trauma center is an hour and a half away from me.. do you think a level 2 trauma would still be good experience for icu?
Absolutely! Its all about the type of experience you get not necessarily where!
What were your stats going in?
Ok...welp...I just lost a third of my hair watching this video 😭😭😭
If you could go back in time, what program would you apply to?
i am 36 y/o RN with a ADN in nursing. interested in ICU. I would need my bachelors first. i feel too old to do this. when did you start?
Hey!! I would say your never to old if it’s something you want to do!
I'm 36, about to go into an ABSN from a totally different career. I know I am going to be 42 in five years no matter what I do and then I have another 30 years still left to practice as a CRNA. Also knowing that there is a year or two working in the ICU where I'm saving money and living my life means that I'm only really giving away 16 months for my ABSN, and 36 months for my CRNA. I don't count the ICU time as years since its a decent salary, then after CRNA school I would be getting three decades in a career with great work life balance. I had read about a CRNA who only chose to work 20 hours a week later in life. To me that is like having a retirement but still being able to get out of the house, see some people, exercise the brain, move around. Something I might want to visit when I'm in my late 50s. Anyways, just wanted to share my perspective since I am your age! Time flies, and its going to go by no matter what we do!
@@Mr-E.yess! I am thinking the same! I’m looking into this and I’m currently 28 and yes I wish I could’ve started sooner but we still have life to live. If not now then when?! I want to live comfortably and I have also seen part time offers where the pay is still really good. I think it would definitely be worth it.
Hiii I’m new to this all so this might be a dumb question 😂 when you say “nursing school” are you referring to your college?
Yep! Bachelors of nursing
What are the best CRNA schools? I planned to go to a CRNa school after my BSN program. How should I start?
Thanks
I am a new grad in the NICU, will I need to switch to adults for it to count towards “ICU experience”?
It will count!!
Thanks for the information. 2 years NICU Experience will be counted or not?
Absolutely!!
Did you go to Barry?
Hi! Currently in nursing school, does it matter if my college is nationally accredited vs reigonally ?? I'm hearing that CRNA school only accepts reigonally accredited
Honestly it could be a problem. You might be able to find a program that will accept you but they may make you jump through more hoops. I would start calling programs and asking them directly!
Hello I had a quick questions. Did you get your ADN first or did you go straight to your BSN? Thank you.
@@TheWildFam is the ADN route faster since you can get ICU experience while completing your Associates?
Do you feel with the crna program it is not realistic to continue working your full time ICU position and balance marriage with 3 school children? I'd want to have an honest attempt to this program. Thanks for the content.
i’m currently a telemetry nurse, so you think it’s possible to apply to ICU even tho you have no ICU related experience?
Hi! Were you in a front loaded program?
I finished my ICU residency as a new grad this month and I’m officially 1 year into the ICU thinking about applying to CRNA school. Do you think it’s beneficial to get my CCRN first? To enhance my application?
Some schools require it. Check their website. The AANA has minimum requirements applicable to all schools (unencumbered RN license, blah blah blah) but other than the minimums, every school potentially has its own requirements. That said, you should probably get the ccrn regardless. Shows dedication to your field, interest in your practice, etc. Best of all, is a hard data point; you don't have to convince anyone about it. Don't get it cause it's required. Get it AS IF it's required.
Hi question, Would you be able to work per diem and going to school full time as a CRNA?
@@TheWildFam they just made it a dnp program in New York and it takes three years to complete I’m 31, I think I will happy as a icu nurse lol I have other accomplishments in my life
Content wise how much harder is it then nursing school?
Well it’s a doctorate program Vs bachelor program so def more advanced
Do CRNA schools pay attention to the school you got your BSN?
Honestly I would say not too much .. as long as you meet the requirements I don’t think they are too pick regarding schools
Thanks for the reply.
