CRNA or NP | Why I chose CRNA

Why did I decide to become a nurse anesthetist instead of a nurse practitioner? This is one of the most common questions I get. The truth is I love both roles and could see myself happy as a nurse practitioner. In this video I explain the 10 reasons why I chose to become a CRNA.
About me:
I am a 2nd year SRNA & ICU nurse. I went to nursing school to get my ADN, started working and then went back for my BSN. I was a travel nurse for 2 years before starting CRNA school. I loved travel nursing so much but I also love anesthesia so I went back to school to become a CRNA. I plan to continue my travel nursing career when I become a nurse anesthetist!

I get asked this question a lot so I figured I would explain my reasoning for choosing to become a CRNA. Like I said, I enjoyed both roles and I could see myself happy as nurse practitioner as well. If (serious if) I ever go back to school it will be to get my NP too!

Can I become a CRNA after finished B.Sc in operation theater and anesthesia technology (Anesthesia Technician course) Plz.. reply me someone .

@MSmith-ne5sq 4 года назад

@@paulkavin_ To become a CRNA, you would have to be a nurse (from my understanding). You would have to go back to school in an ABSN program to get your RN. You would then have to work in an ICU for 1-2 years before you can apply to a CRNA school. Schools vary in how much experience you need. I am also researching this and this is what I have gotten from my research.

@LovelyyAubrey 3 года назад

Can you do the program online fir crna or is it all in person ?

@aliceschram1043 2 года назад

That’s great, high liability so you must have high priced insurance. Give you a lot of credit, the flexible hrs are great

@BoltCRNA 5 лет назад

I had that same moment when I was travel nursing, that gut-check moment when you seriously debate with yourself if you're willing to give up three years of your life for CRNA school. The realization that you could do NP mostly online for about 20% of the cost of CRNA school, less time commitment, and easier workload while continuing to travel nurse was very tempting. At the end of the day I came to the same realization as you, CRNA all the way, it's worth the sacrifice.

@TheSchoellerFamily 5 лет назад

It was so hard to give up traveling but I don't regret it one bit!

@tdgdbs1 5 лет назад

Good decision! Oversaturation is a huge problem in most metropolitan.

@LovelyyAubrey 3 года назад

So basically just getting through the rigorous schooling after that it won’t be so hard? Are you referring to the work the studying what is so hard? Like nursing school is a lot of busy work and can be challenging but once starter working as nurse it wasn’t as hard as people made it seem. Sometimes don’t even use what we learned throughout nursing school, learning by experiences.

When I had my daughter via C-section, the only person I remember working on me was the anesthesiologist. He was this voice of calm and “everything is going great” above my head while a whole lot of craziness and mystery was happening on the other side of the sheet. So yes, some of us do remember you guys ☺️

@michelle3445 3 года назад

I definitely remember the CRNA when I had my son. I asked him to be my new best friend. Lol. He was amazing. When my epidural got pulled out 😬, he came up to try to fix it. My son was coming so fast he couldn’t, but he gave me some meds that helped. He was actually there when my son was born because he got stuck in the crowd. I was high risk had so many people there in case of resuscitation. (Sorry for my novel).

@experimentaorlandobyvaness1624 3 года назад

I had my epidural anesthesia during my C-section from a CRNA and when I said to him I was a nursing Student he told me that he was pride of being a nurse. He was awesome. He said I was his family until I was out of the a anesthesia. So he did everything possible for me! He inspired me to become a nurse one day!

@brookefraley5008 2 года назад

Yes!! My CRNA during my c-section was my favorite provider during the process. He’s the one that noticed she had dimples 🥰

@ghost_in_thekeys6596 4 года назад

I remember I had a miscarriage years ago and I had to go for a D&C. I remember I was waiting on a stretcher all ready to go under anesthesia and a very nice lady came up to me and introduced herself as an anesthesia nurse. I remember her telling me that everything was going to be ok and that they were going to take care of me. That was my first experience with CRNA. I am an LPN right now and I’ve got long ways to go but I am hoping to become a CRNA in the long run.

@jirayamana4749 4 года назад

Hi! Just wondering, how’d you get a ICU position right after the program? From what I have researched so far, it’s difficult to get an ICU position if you have no prior experience as a nurse (that’s assuming you don’t have prior experience, but please correct me if I’m wrong) I’m also interested going into ICU and it’s my second semester as a student nurse. Thanks!

I liked watching a video where someone loved both roles. I see a lot where people knew they loved NP/CRNA from the start. I love biology and science and nursing as well and I think CRNA would be a good mix. Thanks for this video Rhianna!

@TheSchoellerFamily 5 лет назад

I went back and forth but ultimately my love for science made me love anesthesia! Maybe one day I'll get my NP too just to learn even more. Maybe lol because I have a feeling I'll be over school after this 3 years 😂

Also, i love how you live right near the hospital that is so incredibly practical and i love it.

@epere049 5 лет назад

Hi Rhianna. What you said at the beginning is definitely like me. When I first shadowed CRNAs and Anesthesiologists in the OR I too was far more fascinated with what the anesthesia provider was doing than what the surgeon was doing, all though for a lot of people it’s the opposite I think. For me there is just something that I love about giving medications that affect every part of the human body in a matter of seconds. To me that fascinates me much more than simply cutting into the body of a person.

@TheSchoellerFamily 5 лет назад

Same! Anesthesia is so fascinating!

I'm very interested in critical care and hemodynamic management. CRNA sounds amazing!

@holymolyguacamole2142 5 лет назад

I'm pretty positive I don't want to go the NP Route because I don't want to end up in primary care. I visit an NP office for my healthcare currently, and even though the care is great, I definitely am not inspired to run my own clinic one day. I know there is an RNFA cert and ACNP degree, but my own research shows that most NPs are wanted in rural primary care settings where I live, with most hospital positions being PRN. Every time I go to the hospital for a family member, I feel the hospital is where I belong. Not sure yet whether I want to do CRNA school/PA school/Med school, but I have plenty of time to figure it out. Just excited to work in healthcare! Also still unsure of providing anesthesia or first assisting, as both sound great to me, but your talk of loving science resonates with me.

This was great, and it all makes great sense. I loved your perspective on the salary aspect, which is a great way to determine for yourself, if anesthesia is something you really want to do. Would you still put yourself through such rigorous training if at the end, you still made the same amount of money as an NP? If the answer is yes, then you know you're heart is in the right place. This video also sounds like a great insight on how to respond to potential interview questions for a CRNA program.

I don’t know if you’ll ever see this comment because it’s an old video- but I wanted to tell you this story because you said you don’t think people remember the anesthesia team! When I was 16 I had major surgery. I was more afraid in that moment than ever before in my life. After being separated from my dad at the elevator to go into the OR, I felt so terrified and alone. I was especially scared of the anesthesia and didn’t know what to expect. I will NEVER forget how the anesthesiologist (I don’t think we have CRNA’s here in Canada) made me feel. He made me stop crying, feel reassured, and calm down before the surgery. I’ll always remember how he made me feel reassured in the most terrifying experience of my life! That is one of the reasons why I became a nurse. But- don’t think that your patients won’t remember you! ❤️

@jamnettydiaz2110 4 года назад

I can't speak for all patients 😅 but as a csection patient I remembered the anesthesia team. It wasn't a good experience because she was every dismissive of my feelings. I'm not sure if she was a CRNA or anesthesiologists, but I was very very scared and she seemed almost annoyed. I actually wish I would have had more conversation with her and the rest of the team. At the end of the day, I am grateful for her work. ❤️

@aycie598 5 лет назад

Hi there! Just want to add to something you mentioned. I'm a PACU nurse and work closely with CRNA's at a level one trauma center. Anyone that works in or around surgery may have a call schedule that should be considered. I can get off at 3pm but could get called back in if I'm needed. I think in any surgical setting a work-life balance can be challenging. Just another thought to consider.

Awesome video. I am going back to school for my RN. Upon graduating, what ICU environment / level would make me most marketable for CRNA school admissions? I also love the idea of shift work and majority of your other reasonings 😊 I can see myself as an NP, but I feel like I would not like it near as much as CRNA. I also love hands on. I cannot stand desk or paperwork, and listening to *some* long winded patients would be agonizing to me. Lol

@therudimentroom 2 года назад

I am in the early infancy of my career in the medical field. I haven't even started Nursing school yet, but I KNOW I ultimately want to go further than Nursing. I have considered both NP and CRNA, however, I suffer from migraines quite frequently. Although they are managed for the most part with medication, I do still suffer from them and that is a concern I have with any job that might have me working in a position where people's lives are on the line and in danger if I were to get a migraine with the aura. Unfortunately this limits what I can and cannot do as far as careers, because despite being managed for the most part, it does cause me extreme anxiety knowing that I could potentially be in a life or death position even in regular nursing, let alone as a CRNA or Critical Care NP. What are your thoughts on this? Is there typically a second CRNA or someone near by to assist if the leading CRNA becomes incapacitated during a procedure?

@carinadimerling2108 4 года назад

Hello! I just found your channel tonight and I love all of your videos! I am a 3 year RN now, I worked on a cardiac step-down (med-tele) unit for about 2.5 years and recently made the jump to CVICU! So all your videos are very interesting, helpful, and relatable to me. I am hoping to start travel nursing sometime next year, not exactly sure when yet. As far as long term goals I have considered becoming an NP, but have also thought about the CRNA option as well. I'm curious, did you always know you wanted to advance your career past being an RN? Or was that a decision you made after nursing school/becoming an RN? Also, I love the idea of shadowing roles to get a feel for it. How did you go about being able to shadow an NP and CRNA? I would love to do that as I think it would would be really helpful in deciding which route to go. Thanks in advance and keep making videos, they're great! :)

@TheSchoellerFamily 4 года назад

Sorry just saw this!! I hope you're loving icu! I knew in nursing school I wanted to be a CRNA after shadowing anesthesia in clinical. The best way to shadow is ask someone at your hospital. I would get the chief CRNAs email and ask that way 😊

Many people are unhappy with choosing the CRNA path because the only thing they want is high compensation... and that was my friend who is very stressed about his job luckily I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner so every weekend I am visiting his apartment to check his conditions. So to all nurses who wanna pursue a higher career or change another career please ask yourself a hundred times if you really want the profession you wanna be in in the future or not. Ask yourself a hundred times if you think you'll gonna be happy with that path. Ask yourself if you want that path because that's the profession you perfectly see yourself. I'm just frustrated because I lost a dearest friend despite being a Psychiatric Nurse. For half of that, I felt like a failure.

I am starting a little late, I just turned 27 so I will be 31 when I get my BSN. I understand that I need a couple years of ICU experience for most programs. Do you think I would be too old at that point? How old are you and are you one of the younger ones in the CRNA program you are in?

@TheSchoellerFamily 5 лет назад

Not at all. There are people in their 30s in my class! I'm in the middle being 28, the youngest one was 25 I think when we started.

@easetres8664 5 лет назад

Honestly don’t even worry about it Katie I’m 25 and won’t be in nursing school until next spring so I won’t be done with nursing school until I’m about 27 for my AS 29-30 for BSN. Not everyone hoped into college right away. We still have a lot of time to practice good luck!

@amber013 5 лет назад

I’m in the same spot as you. I’m 29 now so I’ll get my ASN at 31 and then continue to my BSN. I’m super intrigued by the role as a CRNA as well.

@birg8356 5 лет назад

I’m preaching to myself here but don’t worry about it Katie. I’m 28 and will be 30 when I get my ADN. 31-32ish when I get my BSN. And I’m still contemplating going for my CRNA. Lord knows how old I’ll be then. Just keep swimming 🏊‍♀️😊

@katrinalee009 5 лет назад

I’ll be next in line to add that I just turned 28 and will just now begin my BSN journey. I’ll be 31/32 when I’m done. The trick is just to start. Everything else will fall into place. 💕

Very cool video. I like shift work as well and being hands on. I’m a different major. I’m an ultrasound student, but I love the idea of clocking out and being done for the day. Your channel is inspiring even though I’m a totally different science major. Lol 😝

@TheSchoellerFamily 5 лет назад

Hi! I feel like no matter your role in healthcare we can all relate. It's one big job with a bunch of different branches. I find ultrasound so fascinating. We use it a lot in anesthesia!

@TheLovelyphat 4 года назад

Thanks for this awesome video on CRNA. I’m a new nurse, just graduated in December 2018. I started my new job in medical ICU in March. I’ve always wanted to become a CRNA but after gaining information about, I found out that I’m not allowed to work when in CRNA school. That got me back up a little bit because I’m a single mom and I have to work. I guess my question is did you have the option to work or don’t work during in CRNA school? Thanks in advance for your time.

@TheSchoellerFamily 4 года назад

My program allows us to work but many don't. You have very limited time to work because of clinicals so it's very part time.

I am interested in anesthesia and will graduate with my BSN in May 2020. Is it difficult to also work while attending the CRNA program ? I have heard that they are 4-5 days a week so I didn’t know. This is my first time watching one of your videos I love the organization & passion 🙌💕

We graduate at the same time! Yes it is difficult so I only work a few times a month.

Im still in Highschool and im really determined to push and become a CRNA currently enrolled in medical terminology ,and im just curious do you have any specific information you could tell me to pay attention for or just give me heads up. Your videos are amazing though i really enjoy watching them.

@TheSchoellerFamily 4 года назад

Pay attention to your sciences! Biology, chemistry, physics and anatomy & physiology if your school offers it!

@amelia-692 5 лет назад

Hi! I've been watching your videos recently and I'm so inspired by them. I just wanted to ask if you ever had doubts in your studies. Was there a point in time when you noticed you got better? I have low confidence in things like these. I want to push for the CRNA route or atleast in the medical field in general but given the fact that their jobs are very important, there is a kind of nervousness? I don't want to cause any harm towards any patient and I wonder if you really improve during school and training and when you start getting confidence?

@TheSchoellerFamily 5 лет назад

Yes we all do ♡ I made a video just about that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s9UvEX54sTs.html

@aw8758 5 лет назад

Listen my mom is a nurse and I have shadowed a few CRNA. They all say yes it IS repetitive but it has to be because this forces you to practice your craft and find a way to make anesthesia your own ! The repetitiveness is sort of warranted because you have to be good at being a CRNA

@TheSchoellerFamily 5 лет назад

I agree! Every patient is unique so you have to tailor your approach. I think of it as unpredictable repetition haha

@Thenurse_jay 3 года назад

Do you (or any other CRNA) think getting the DNP is worth it? I read that by 2025 all CRNA's would need DNP's. Would it improve patient outcomes in your field? Most APRN's I know say its a waste of time and money

@moviefan1646 3 года назад

Hi I loved your video my question was that after you get a Bsn degree in uni after that how long does it take to become a crna

@TheSchoellerFamily 3 года назад

About 5 years after your bsn. 2 years of icu then 3 of crna school.

Liking the video helps with the youtube algorithm! If YT knows people are really liking your content (from likes and views), they push it out to other viewers = more views for you = more money! Just wanted to say it since you didn't know why others said that. I don't have a channel myself but I have looked into it! Thanks for the video (-:

@cheche975 4 года назад

New subbie here. When I saw your video a day for CRNA student I searched your channel and subscribe. Ive been an RN & BSN since 2004, worked in the OR and PACU for more than 7yrs. In my 4th yr of experience working in Kuwait and been pulled out as nurse anesthesia it awakens my dream to become CRNA. Now im working still in PACU here in United States for a year now and im really instrested and amazed with anesthesia. When I finished my contract working in Kuwait, i went back home in the Philippines to study masters and applied in US because Ive heard alot of opportunities for nurses here and maybe i could study again for CRNA path. Do you think which department like working in ED or ICU would benefit me if I want to pursue studying CRNA? Do you need to finish atleast 1 yr working in those departments before applying to study CRNA courses? Thanks for feedback

@TheSchoellerFamily 4 года назад

Hi! Wow that is awesome experience. Definitely ICU for CRNA school.

@isabelduenas-ponce305 4 года назад

I am a high school student and don't know exactly what career would fit for me. I have taken a lot of science and math my 4 years in high school and loved them. They were challenging but interesting that made me want to keep learning. So since nurses and doctors use a lot of math and science, that is what I'm thinking about, but don't know exactly which nurse or doctor to become. I don't want to be a medical doctor because I don't want to feel that stressed in medical school. So want to be a nurse. During school, did you do surgery and anesthesia? If so, what year in school? Did you do any other type of nursing things that other nurses do while in school? Like Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Midwife, Nurse Surgeon, etc.?

@TheSchoellerFamily 4 года назад

I think you should shadow all the roles you're interested in to get a better idea 😊

@bnb0510 3 года назад

I’m an RN and had a dream of being a CRNA but life took me in a different direction. Not that it’s all about money but NP’s don’t make that much more money than a nurse. Why even spend the money for school?

@timcox5001 4 года назад

So how much experience is required to get your BSN or go get your master's for CRNA? In my understanding, it's different depending on what school you get in to

@TheSchoellerFamily 4 года назад

Minimum of 1 year icu

@colterhinchey9266 5 лет назад

I’m starting my Bsn program at the University of Central Arkansas and it’s 2 years thank goodness😂. I’m pretty interested in anesthesia and the more I watch your videos the more interested I get. My goal is to become a CRNA, but I’ve got to get out of nursing school first. But I started off good by making an A in patho both anatomies chemistry and regular biology. But I did make a B in microlobiology in human affairs 😅

@TheSchoellerFamily 5 лет назад

That's awesome! 2 years is quick, that's how long my adn program was. Don't sweat a B, so much more goes into applications than just grades. Good luck!

How was the schooling? This video makes me nervous but I think a crna career would be a good option for me.
