Incredible video David. Very non traditional student here. Will be finishing my BSN at age 47 and applying after. Have been a nurse for 3 years and was a paramedic for 10 years before that. Have 3 teenagers soon to be graduating HS. Figure ive got another 15-20 years of work after graduating and this is the career that has occupied a part of my mind each day for the past 20 years. Ive gotten to do and see alot but ive always come back to anesthesia. We will see what happens. Thanks for the content. new sub.
Hey!!! Thanks so much for watching and for the comment. I’m glad you found the video useful! And to your sentiment- it is never too late to do something new. There are several non trad people in my class right now. Best of luck to you and if you ever have questions, feel free to reach out!
Hell ya!, CNA at 16 years old. LVN at 2009, decided to get my ADN this year, I'm nearing 40. I told my wife, I'm already in pain going back into the hurt locker (RN School) told her that I'm going for gold and going for CRNA asap! I plan on working for 5 years after CRNA school and then teaching all the way to retirement. I've had a pretty prosperous career and have seen the beauty, the ugly and the end of life and I've got a story to share! Congrats on your decision, that comment really motivates me!
David, this is AWESOME! Almost there! My brother is just now starting out with National as well and we spoke about you recently. Your background is something I look up to! So happy for you and just know you have so many strangers rooting for you!
Ah that is amazing! What a cool connection. I probably met him at the orientation recently. He chose a great program! Thanks for watching- I greatly appreciate it!
@@DavidWarrenNP I believe you guys may have been in contact! When he told me you were both going through National, I told him I was low key fan girling since I have been all in since Alaska haha. Looking forward to watching your next adventure unfold!
Yay David!!! Ive been watching you since before I started nursing school and now I’m a graduate!! I love watching your channel and the perspectives you share on NP and CRNA!
Hey David, I am so excited to have watched your journey. I’m an SRNA and have to move out of state for school in the summer. I remember you talking about moving around every three months as a student, but I don’t know the video. Do you mind fleshing out the experience of constantly being on the move as a student? Thankyou so much for the content. It has been so insightful.
What’s up bro, I’m very proud of you! I look up to all anesthesiologist and CRNA, I really enjoy donating to the CRNA foundation, since it was hard for me to go to college because of my cerebral palsy, I really wanted to be a CRNA! You rock man! It takes a special person and skill to be an anesthesiologist or CRNA and you’re one of them!!!!!! I’m 34
I've watched all your videos. Thanks for sharing your CRNA journey. I guess I'll just marry a CRNA guy than going all through what you've been through.
Great video! I am an ER to ICU RN and current AGNP that just got accepted to CRNA school. I would love for you to make a video about how your NP experience helped your transition. All the best in your senior year 🎉
Love this!! Thanks so much for watching! You chose a great second- career. Your NP experience will serve you well in your anesthesia training too. It may not seem like it now, but come clinical rotation time, you will be miles ahead in some regards (especially when it comes to pre ops and understanding optimization for surgery/anesthesia).
@@DavidWarrenNP so far accepted to Columbia University. I have an interview with Midwestern coming up and two other schools that I recently applied to but their application cycle hasn’t closed yet.
@NptoCRNA - Had a quick question - I'm graduating nursing school in August, and I'm picking my top two preceptorship preferences for next semester (last semester). I obviously selected ICU as my top pick, but I was debating between ER and PACU for my second preference in case I don't get an ICU preceptorship. I was just wondering if you think ER would be the next best preceptorship to get if someone wants to become a new grad ICU nurse in the near future? Some told me PACU was good because they have vents, fluids/titrations, but others said ER provides acuity and critical thinking that ICUs would prefer. Any advice for someone who wants to get into the ICU and CRNA school in the near future would be appreciated!
Hi David, thank you for your videos as they provide so much insight. I can't even imagine how terrifying it is to run your own room for the first time, but I understand it's the only way to gain the confidence to do this job on your own. As someone still very early on their path, I was hoping to reach out to you via IG to really understand what it takes to embark on this journey. Thank you for your guidance to those who wish to follow your path!
Thank you for watching! I'm so glad you find the content useful! It definitely is stressful at first, but like anything, it gets way better with time and repetition!
I’m applying to CRNA school but I’m worried about the school/life balance… I’m afraid school will consume me and my mental health will suffer. How has the balance been for you in the first half vs second half of school?
Wow!!! Congratulations!! You are so close to being done.:):) That's so exciting!! How difficult is your program? And how many classes can you remediate if you score below the grade?
Do crna programs consider critical transport nursing “icu experience”? It’s literally the same as working in the hospital, only in the back of an ambulance. I take care of ventilated pts on multiple drips, RSI trained, cardiac devices (LVAD/impella/IABP/ECMO), high risk OB, and peds as well.
It would really depend on the program. Most programs want dedicated ICU experience in the hospital, and not transporting patients between facilities. There are some programs that accept non traditional ICU experience, but it’s not very common.
@@DavidWarrenNP that’s craziness. Especially since I feel like we do/are able to do more and get more variety than traditional bedside nursing. Hopefully it can be a change in the future.
Yeah bro you’re preaching to the choir 😂 I was an ED NP for 8 years, and did everything full scope. National out in California will accept ED and flight experience. Honestly, I think thats some of the best experience you can get.
Hey David, nice to hear you are doing well! I been following your videos since november and I like the content! It so happens that I am from McAllen, TX (worked at MMC and Doctor's Hospital) I hope you liked your stay there I know its very educational haha. Two peeps of mine are your under classmen at Nationals. I am one semester in a program at Indiana and it went in the blink of an eye. Any pearls of wisdom to thrive and squeeze the most out of this sweet sweet orange called CRNA school? If possible please let me know if I can email you, Thanks! -Javier
Homie I know you’re very knowledgeable and smart but “resident” is liking to anesthesia physician resident. Low key I think this can be confusing for patients and not safe

Thanks so much for this. This the most informative CRNA school UA-cam channel.
Thank you so much. It is so encouraging❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! These videos are always helpful!
Wonderful video, so informative. Thank you!

You're going to rock it! If you don't mind sharing- where are you going to crna school?

Great content .. do you have a video on the logistics of moving for each rotation?
Good question! I don't actually, but Ill do a video in the future!
Great video
the goat himself returns, great vid
I published a research paper for my DNP project, and we can pick to have a team or alone.
Was a front loaded program something you wanted instead of integrated?
Do all CRNA programs have u travel out of state for clinical rotations? Or does that just depend on each school
It really just depends on each school- some schools have a home clinical site, and some schools rotate clinical rotation sites every three months.
From Odessa Texas! What hospital did you go to?
Nice! I was at Odessa Regional! I really enjoyed my rotation there. It was actually my first time spending any time out in West Texas!
Congrats!!!!

When do you transition from a CRNA student to a CRNA resident? Or do you matriculate into CRNA with the title already?
Do crna programs consider critical transport nursing “icu experience”? It’s literally the same as working in the hospital, only in the back of an ambulance. I take care of ventilated pts on multiple drips, RSI trained, cardiac devices (LVAD/impella/IABP/ECMO), high risk OB, and peds as well.

Dont call us residents lol
