- How to Become a CRNA While Also Being A Parent. Are you holding yourself back from CRNA school because you’ve got a family? Being a parent in CRNA school IS possible!
Navigating school while raising little ones and maintaining happy family relationships can certainly be challenging, but it’s not impossible! Today, we are joined by Sara Conner, a first-year SRNA who is absolutely KILLIN’ it! Even with 3 young children, Sara is thriving in her program and at home, while investing in herself by not putting off her dream.
In this episode, Sara shares her insights and lessons, including:
The biggest mindset shifts she has had to make along the way (including ditching the perfectionism at home AND in school)
Key strategies for navigating the costs of school while still taking care of their family
Creating a schedule and arranging childcare in a way that makes space for her school work
The vital importance of a strong support system and asking for help when you need it
How she’s passing on a legacy of working toward your dreams to her children (and why you shouldn’t listen to the horror stories!)
So go grab your kiddos and listen to today’s episode together, future CRNA! You’ve got this!

Thank you so much for this. Especially thank you for having a woman who is a mother. It honestly is different for mothers versus fathers regarding schooling, especially difficult high level schooling and what is expected from women vs men as parents. I don’t have kids but by the time I’m in CRNA school I will be in my mid to lates 30s and kids could be a very real aspect of my life and it is something that has caused a lot of stress for me. Thank you again!
You are not wrong about that Alexia; and it's good to start considering all these things now. Hopefully it won't always be that way ;) Thank you so much for tuning in!!!
i’ve only been a PICU nurse for 6 months, but i’m already thinking about CRNA! I have a 3.5 year old at home. this was really inspiring. thank you ladies
Never too early to start thinking about the CRNA career path; and you've TOTALLY got this!! We're rooting for you! Thank YOU for tuning in!!
I really appreciate this video! It puts sooooo much into perspective! While I don’t have any kids, I am married. Applying for CRNA school has been on my mind for a while now but maintaining finances, if accepted, has been one of my biggest worries. I’d be interested to hear more information on financially prepping for CRNA school.
Hi there! Thank you for tuning in!! It's great that you're thinking about planning financially for CRNA; this video has a ton more info that you should find helpful on that topic: ua-cam.com/video/P3mjYh3uZ6k/v-deo.html
Rooting for you!
Thanks for this
Thank YOU for tuning in, Monica!!
I think it would be great to do an update with how things are going during clinicals and how she’s balancing school, kids, and clinical
Thank you for the suggestion! I do have an update video with Amber (another SRNA with whom I did a "Being a Mom in CRNA School" video chat with)... here's the link if you want to check it out! ua-cam.com/video/v1LeIdqTYjA/v-deo.html
@@CRNASchoolPrepAcademy I did watch that as well! I’ve watched all of your videos since discovering you, and it’s been extremely helpful and motivating. I just have 3 children that will be very similar ages to her own when I’m in school. And having 3 kids compared to 1 is a HUGE difference. I would be curious about how her kids handled her being in school and less available as well. It’s a huge fear of mine
@@midnightcoalexpress I know a single mom of 3 in school right now- I am reaching out to her for some of our academy students to connect with her - I may even see if I can bring her on the podcast to see how she is managing her time in school with 3 kids and being a single parent- I know she has two Nannie’s helping
What’s your advice for single moms inspiring to go to crna school?
I recommend to line up a plan of action to help with the kids. I have had a few students who went back as single parents and had no family near by to help so they got a nanny who helped around the house, groceries, cleaned and with kids. But I would suggest trying to find friends and family to help with childcare and chores ❤️ you can do it with the right game plan 🥳🎓
@@CRNASchoolPrepAcademy thank you so much for your advice. My girls are teenagers and hopefully by the time I apply the oldest will be driving. I know it will be tough but I’m so determined to get there!
@@thepinknurse_ rooting for you 🎓
Thank you for this. I just had my first baby and coming up to applying for CRNA school. Wondering what it was going to be like.
Congrats on being a new mama!! You can TOTALLY do this!! Cheering you on! :)
