Semester 8 Week 8 Update | CRNA School Chronicles
Welcome back to another CRNA school update! In this video, I share my experiences from Semester 8, Week 8. It's been an eventful journey as I return to my original clinical site, and I'm excited to give you all the details.
I've just wrapped up my cardiovascular rotation, which was an incredible learning experience, and I'm now diving into my OB (obstetrics) rotation. The transition has been challenging but rewarding as I continue to expand my skills and knowledge in different specialties.
A significant milestone this semester is receiving IRB approval for my capstone project. I've been diving into research and making steady progress, which feels great. Balancing a full-time clinical schedule and schoolwork is no easy feat, but I'm determined to keep pushing forward.
Working 40 hours a week in clinicals while managing school assignments is exhausting, but every step brings me closer to my goal of becoming a certified registered nurse anesthetist. Join me as I share my journey, insights, and the ups and downs of CRNA school life.

    Hey Jeena, I’m a subscriber and wanted to let you know I found your channel when I was prepping for crna school interviews. I had 2 interviews! One was a couple weeks ago which I haven’t heard back from yet, and the other that I interviewed this past Thursday notified me on Saturday that I’m accepted starting next year! So thank you for your tips and advice and I will continue to follow along your journey to hopefully help me in school also. Congrats on all your hard work!

      My program is DNAP. They are both clinical based degrees, but it is because the program is offered from a school that is not under a specific “school of nursing”. Technically it can be considered a non-terminal degree. This website has a little blurb about the difference if you care to read it over. thecrna.com/dnap-vs-dnp-understanding-the-difference/

I believe you mentioned awhile back that your school accepted the last 60 hrs. Which school do you attend for your CRNA program, if you don't mind? And is the GRE required? I would love to learn more about it. Thank you.

  • @NicKYKmic
    @NicKYKmic 2 місяці тому

    why would you add that ICU experience in the total amount of time to become a CRNA? for medical school and AA school, having healthcare experience is a critical part of the application, for which, students take a gap year to gain healthcare experience. this can easily be a year or two. we don't add this to the total amount of training. it does not seem to be a very fair comparison in that regard. my opinion is that all types of healthcare experience are essential for provider roles.

    Hi, after watching your journey video, I felt like we are in similar shoes. I too did hit couple bumps on the road. I chose like 2-3 majors right out of high school, couldn’t figured out what I wanted to do. I ended up choosing Biology major, taking those difficult courses while working overnights at my job full time and that led to bad grades and dropped my GPA significantly, I’d say I had a pretty bad chem teacher (but these are just excuses) I ran out of financial aid. I obtained my associate in biology and on my third yr of biology I figured I wouldn’t be able to do much with the degree so I went for nursing (2yrs degree) right now I will graduate this May and got an offered from two hospitals, the Rochester one offered me way better deals with benefits and higher pay with sign on bonus but even tho Albany med did not offer me little, they do have connection with CRNA/NP program there and I am willing to sacrifice that to reach my goal. At the moment I’m conflicted and just don’t know if my goal is realistic. I watched your journey video and your perseverance definitely gives me hopes. I’m just discouraged right now because I heard from my interviewer(Albany med) they’re switching the program into a 4 yr doctorate. Chem, bio, physics, math are not my strongest either but I’m willing to retake the courses if needs to be. Any advice or suggestions on the steps I could take?

    you can move the notes and highlights with the lasso select though.
