I watched this and now I want to do this more. Challenge accepted. Iâm almost finish with my RN. I will follow up with this comment in 7-10 years.
You will go far
Here for the follow up đ
Yes I want to start my journey at 25 but kinda feel behind !
@@QuellArion I'm getting my RN at 31. You're on the right track, and nursing schools value life experience!
@@QuellArion I'm 25, and I just started nursing school! We're still young, and we've got plenty of years left for our careers!
1) It's going to be a tough road
2) CRNA school is expensive
3) The schooling is rigorous
4) Work environment
5) Working long hours
Thx bro
Thank you!
Perfect thank you lmao
That's it?đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ
Thank you for summarizing it. I was bored to listen her.
I love this and the 3 Perks To Become A CRNA. I was just accepted into a CRNA program and I have 3 small kids so any SRNA mom insight and hearing about moms successfully moving through a program is so encouraging. Thank you!!đ»
Howâs it going for you? I have 3 young kids too which is what is kind of holding me back from moving forward with it. Mom guilt is real man lol
@@midnightcoalexpress I am fortunate to have a great partner who is willing to shoulder a LOT of the day to day for me to have the time I need to study. You have to find a balance and itâs a lot of studying while multitasking. The mom guilt is ever present and I donât know if that goes away. The school paired me with a student 1-yr ahead who has 2 small kids and she has helped give me tips and advice. There are a few people in each cohort (@ my program who have kids). Itâs definitely possible, but you need a solid support system or at least a really solid person/spouse. Keep your goals in mind- youâre doing it for you but also for your kids too. They are part the vision so hold tight to that when the mom guilt kicks in. đGO FOR YOUR DREAMS!
@@midnightcoalexpress it wonât let me post my email- Iâve tried and keep getting deleted. đ€·đœââïžđ. So, I will try to summarize some tips Iâve used and words my upper class buddy shared that worked for me:
1. I try to balance by getting up early to make breakfast and lunches and snacks prepped for the day (I donât think this will work once I hit clinicalsâŠ.to be determinedđ.)
2. I study on the go by using quizlet while cooking. Listening to lectures/me recording myself âreteachingâ the lectures during my commute to school, while grocery shopping.
3. I go to bed when the kids go to bed so that I am well rested and mentally prepared. Staying up late for me was counter productive bc I was already exhausted mentally and physically.
4. I have to use a multi-modal study approach- look at multiple times, record myself and listen to it repeatedly.
5. I have to study every day. Even if itâs in small chunksâŠyou retain more than you think when you see it repeatedly.
6. I stop for 30 min when my kids get home (they are 6/6/4 yr old) and read to them. I stop to help out them in bed at night. I go to their swimming every weekâŠyou have to take breaks so I try to plan my breaks around their âactivity.â If we go for a walk, I bring my notes or listen to recordingsâŠagain lots of multitasking.
7. I am honest with my kids and tell them I have to study but I hug and kiss them and set firm boundaries around âthis is important to mommy so we can do lots of fun things when you guys get a bit older.â Iâve already promised Disney World as a celebration trip. đ
8. I have moment where I cry and feel overwhelmedâŠbut everyone in the program feels overwhelmedâŠkids or not. Unfortunately that is a normal feeling. So I manage the stress by allowing myself to cry if I need to, get enough rest and I try to move/exercise regularly even if itâs just 15 min to get rid of the excess stress.
9. Stay positive, believe in your ability to complete the program and surround yourself with people who also believe in your ability and goals. We donât stay close to family who can help us with our kids and my upper class buddy doesnât either. Her kids are homeschooled and mine were at home all summer (my first semester)âŠitâs challenging but it is doable.
There are a million reasons why I shouldnât be a nurse but im getting through it so what are a few more challenges? WE GOT THIS!!!!!
I think you adding personal experiences really elevates the video! And makes it more relatable (:
Iâm a new grad in the ICU. So Iâm still in the researching and learning phase. Thank you for being so transparent. This is something that I have always wanted to do, even before nursing school and it feels more affirming to see you! đž
Hello, may I ask how do you get into the ICU after graduation
I appreciate the insight, and the quotes through out the video.
Thank you!
Sometimes, things are not meant to be. Same here, applied 3 schools, 3.6 GPA BSN, 4.0 GPA MSN, certified in CCRN, VA-BC, CRNI. Shadowed CRNA in the OR for two weeks, and I did not like their working environment. I am vascular nurse, doing procedures, not an NP, but been pulling yearly salary $250K. Thinking about CRNA again but I am getting that point of my nursing career where I am like, ehhh. Secret to being happy in life⊠love what you do, travel, and invest. With my stocks, I am close to retiring at age 55. Donât chase the money, let it chase you or shall I say, put that bitch to work.
I needed this, thank you !!!
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I desire to take the road. I haven't even started nursing school yet but I believe that I can do it
thanks again, I'm ready for the journey
Good luck in nursing school!!! You got this!
I enjoy seeing đ all the nursing vids on here I'm a LVN in the RN program.
I'm not even in the healthcare field but I feel you when you said you had to read a paragraph 10x to understand what it is saying. I get that a lot of times that I feel dumb sometimes.
yess thiss
Great video!
Thank you for making it!
Love love this video! Still very inspiring and itâs a goal of mine. đâ€
Please do a video comparing CRNA and CAA in terms of scope of practice and salary.
Love this video! In my 2nd year now. I am wondering if you could make a video on questions to ask in an interview for a CRNA job? Thank you!!
Well said!
This is about the most positive negative speech on the cons of doing something đ
Thought I was the only one feeling that wayđ
Thank you!
When I saw the title, I thought you meant the Serbian definition of "Crna" and got really worried. Thankfully you were referring to nursing
Hello, i love the video do CRNA schools recognize international icu experience, especially outside the United states for admission
Iâm currently working PT in the PACU. Iâm fascinated with anesthesia. Told my boss I want to shadow in open heart recovery. Interested in impella/Ecmo/ Worked as an emt and transitioned into ED/Trauma RN in level 1+burns & level 2trauma center where I Served throughout COVID. Currently getting back to it with momentum with my BSN. Afterwards, Iâm Between acute care adult gerontology NP or Go right for CRNA. All in the lords hands đ heâs used me for my own ministry, and fellowship. All the praise I receive is given right up to him. âïž always thankful! đ as I sit in a house with no power đ itâs cold in Florida đ
Very informative. Appreciate the information. Do me a favor count how many times you say, "You Know" in this presentation.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Watching a video titled âThe reasons to not become a CRNAâ on a channel named âThrive CRNAâ đ thank you for the video
Ok Iâm doing it đ awesome video thank you
Iâm torn right now between getting into a level 1 trauma and travel nursing. I have 1 year experience icu but itâs close to a level 3 trauma (even though itâs not actually a level 3 even). Was wondering what you would recommend?
I heard about travel icu float?
Before you travel please go to a level 1, Iâve been a travel iCU nurse after 2 years of level 1 iCU. How that level 1 experience is a great help. Iâve been in areas where travelers were running the entire floor, preceptor for hospitals new hires and charging. It is important to have seen all areas in clinical before jumping into travel, thatâs the quickest way to get reported to board and fired from several jobs Iâve seen this and itâs sad
If people don't know this stuff by the time they apply for anesthesia school then I'm at a loss for words this is all common sense stuff! But nice videođ
U r inspiring â€
đđ» hi , if you donât mind asking, how old were you when you had your second child?
You are an inspiration for me thanks for your time
Thanks for this video! đđŒđđŒ
All Iâm going to say is when and if you become a CRNA, donât forget where you came from. Remember you were a RN at first. Donât feel you are above anyone or a RN. Stay humble. I work with many CRNA that think they are better and more important than anyone else.
What is the name of your new institution/job??? Thanks
You could never pay me enough to be a CRNA. Soon too be LPN here! Start school next month!
why
?????
Why
Like how many years to finish the whole program
What questions should you ask employer? What were things you are looking for in job?
I donât have a family or boyfriend. I have no friends so I should get my RN degree work for 1 year and go to CRNA school. Nursing school is free where I am.
Where is it free?
@@untamedwildhorse Thatâs a huge ? In Mass at CC
Community college is free in your state?
I'm currently working medsurg (after not getting directly into ICU after school) and it is soul sucking knowing I'm not on the path to CRNA, just feeling stagnant, and I can't leave my current job for another 6 months to transfer laterally to ICU because my work is paying for my RN to BSN program fully, but not if I transfer units before 1 year. So that hit. But I'm still hellbent on being a CRNA.
Donât get discouraged, you can do this exclamation I graduate in a few months with mine ASN then Iâll be starting as a tack on a critical care of progressive care unit in a couple days. While I hope I can secure an ICU residency I know I may end up just transitioning as an RN onto my unit. So my goal is to stick it out for six months and then open myself up to possibly moving cities or states to get into the ICU. It is a little stressful knowing and may not start off directly on the path to cRNA but I try to always keep a plan and a back up plan so I donât get too discouraged.
Same here I m still thinking about it but I m also looking at other options
Everything takes time. :)
Jamie, quit. And find an ICU. I just graduated and I start ICU next week. YOU Andes to advocate for yourself. Remember, THEY need you. Not the other way around
I think RNs who worked more than the ICU are stronger than those who didnât. To some extent, it levels out after a few years as a CRNA. But those who worked the floor are more well-rounded with knowledge of meds, peripheral IVs, etc.
Is CCRN hard and is it required?
No and no. It helps if you have it; it makes you more competitive.
Do you make salary? Or hourly pay as a CRNA?
Can you work 24hr shifts ?
Are there specific travel agencies for CRNA ?
I think itâs weekly pay
All of the above. There are a TON of travel groups for CRNAs. But the money is not worth it alone.
@@priikii Only for some locums companies. Iâve never heard of a W2 get paid weekly.
this might be a dumb question, but can I go to CRNA school after completing an MSN as a Nurse educator?
Youâll need essential ICU experience minimum 1 year but many encourage to have more than 1 year to build foundation. Working in high level ICU and even getting your CCRN will help. Good luck
@@Ajdaily73 Alright thank you so much! But can I go from BSN and straight to CRNA, or do I need a Master's first and then CRNA?
@@daiziemaningding5640 all you need to apply is your BSN and critical care experience
As of right now which I heard there will be changes in 2025 you can go straight to CRNA dnp school but you need atleast 1 year of icu experience first
Hey if you donât mind me asking whatâs the difference between a CRNA from an anesthesiologist assistant
Hey I know you didnât ask me but I just wanted to add a comment in case she doesnât get to a response. One major thing is cRNAâs have more autonomy. He kind of reminds me of the differences between MPs and PAs. You know how she mentioned in rural areas in cRNA may be the only anesthesia provider. That wouldnât be the case for an anesthesiologist assistant, I believe they always have to be directly under an anesthesiologist.
@@eboninoelle08 ok thank you!
Google it. Beyond that: AAs canât work in every state. I think itâs 13 states they can work in. They are always tied to an MDA while CRNAs can work wherever anesthesia is needed, MDA present or not, so we have way more options.
@@eboninoelle08 in addition, AAs are only recognized in maybe only 16 states. Also, less schools teach AAs. Others, they make the same as CRNAs in the work place.
Damn! New mom and crna school is brutal.
You are a bad lady!
*_I donât know if CRNA is Worth spending all my life time for because i have tried youtube l associates and some others and still failed 4 attempt. I feel so frustrated don't know what to do anymore donât even have time for my own kids any more đđđđđ._*
@Ella Brown Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you study you also need to pray to God for success
@Ashley Smith Wow so sorry you failed, i have heard so much about Ameliaâs online classes but I don't actually have her info
I just want youâll to know that if you are out there and you are being really hard on yourself right now for something that has happened ⊠itâs normal. That is what is going to happen to you in life. No one gets through unscathed. We are all going to have a few scratches on us. Please be kind to yourselves and stand up for yourself, please.
@@cynthiamorgan4184 correct
@Ashley Smith The 3 C's of Life is:
choices, chances, Changes You must make a Choice to take a Chance or your life will never Change. Amelia helped me and two of my friends pass the exam few years ago you're lucky I still have her info
Are CRNAâs exposed to a lot of radiation? Like does x-ray spend a lot of time in the OR? If so are you allowed to leave the room?
It depends on where you work. And no. You canât leave your patient.
Years to complete crna school
Can you become a cna with a low GPA of 2.7-3.0 ?
No
Yes, take upper division science course to improve your gpa with an A in a more advanced class than the traditional nursing school classes for example advanced microbiology, organic chemistry, biostatistics, biochemistry etc
Your gpa- answers one question for admissions which is : can you handle the rigor?
You can prove this by taking advanced level science courses- aim for an A and try and focus on just 1-2 class(es) post baccalaureate per semesterâŠdonât overload yourself. Focus and pass with a good grade (preferably an A)

Do travel nursing go to crna school in puerto rico easy done
Have you done it?
If you speak Spanish yes
Is 42 too old to start CRNA school in your opinion?
No, all you need is discipline
That's crazy to discourage
As a black woman, I wonder if I will be adequately paid in comparison to my peers once I become a CRNA. That is the only down side I have ever thought about
Do you think youâre adequately compensated now compared to your peers? If so, then keep demanding that same treatment if you become a CRNA. If not then find out why and demand some change. I really donât see this being a down side unless youâll be making less becoming a CRNA than what youâre doing right now tbh đ€·đŸââïž
@@eja9539 Now, yes because we all came in as new grads so there was a set base pay. When we start getting raises etc I will truly never know unless a peer explicitly tells me their salary.
My comment is to highlight how women and especially black women are paid less than their peers in general. Of course a CRNA makes more than a RN but does that mean itâs ok to be paid less than other CRNAs? Not saying this is a reason not to become a CRNA; just a potential con.
You know thatâs illegal? To pay someone less or more because of their gender or skin color. So if that does happen, then it is something to address.
Short answer: yes, yes you will
@@schmidtythekidd lol you do know that ppl donât hire bc of gender,race etc. just bc it is illegal doesnât mean ppl donât do it.
You are not sharing anything new for those who really wants it !!!
really
Your decision not to cover yourself in this video shows you exercise poor judgement in your decision making. The same can be said about this video, as none of what you said is reasons not to become a CRNA. So many nurses eat their young, and this video of discouragement is equivalent. When I was an RN, I experienced some of the same negatives that you listed for CRNAs. No job is perfect, and the studying is expected to be intense for the position. As such, we're compensated very well, and it's better than MedSurg, ER, or the ICU. The hours can be long but the work load is no comparison.
Edit: I admit, being a male nurse has a different filter than female nurses.
This video was excruciatingly horrible, un informative and filled with naïveté. This is more like a personal confession on how not to become a CRNA
I was distracted by your chest
