My CRNA school GPA, GRE scores, experience, courses, extracurriculars & letters of recommendation experience, and the CRNA school application strategy that worked for me.
Your numbers or your stats when applying to CRNA school are NOT the whole picture, but your stats can help get you in the door for your first CRNA school interview. I do HIGHLY recommend investing in a mock interview prior to your first admissions interview.
Personally, I did not take any additional graduate school courses prior to applying to CRNA school, however this can be a great option for people with a less traditional application package.
I share my experience with y'all, confident that I will meet many of you at future AANA conferences. Good luck!

I like that you talk fast, I can’t stand when people talk too slow 😂

Thanks haha

Thank you for posting this! I've been nursing for 7 years now with 5 in the ICU, and the process for applying to CRNA school sounds so daunting! I have no idea where to even begin, and while my years of experience may help me, I'm not so sure about my gpa lol. Definitely going to binge watch a few more of your videos to see how much of a reality this actually is for me!

thank you so much for all your great information! I wonder if you can make a video of how the timeline would look like for someone who is in an Accelerated Nursing Program and wanting to go to CRNA school? I am currently in my first semester of an ABSN program and I'm doing pretty good. I will be finishing in December 2024 and I plan to work in the ICU as soon as I can so I can start racking up my hours. My long term goal is to become a CRNA. I would love to have your insight on how that timeline would look like! Truly, you are such an inspiration to all aspiring CRNA students and your videos are so informative! Thank you so so much

Thank you for sharing! I appreciate your advice on LOR anxiety, which is my current hurdle! I have 2 years MICU, CCRN-CMC 3.5 ADN 4.0 BSN (So 3.7 Avg Nursing) 3.4 Science with A’s Gen Chem 1 and 2 and Organic Chem 1 3.5 Cumulative Hoping I can stand out in the crowd!

@annaSRNA Год назад

Yesssss your application package is pretty solid-shoot those applications and good luck!

@Lemurai Год назад

I only got into CRNA school because my previous bachelors before nursing was Chemical Engineering, admission wasn’t an easy process, atleast for me. People always ask why I left engineering, here it goes, good luck finding a job, universities lie about their employment stats like it’s going out of style, especially in a field like mine where petroleum is on its way out. CRNA is the way to go, I even considered being an anesthesia assistant until I was advised they cannot practice without the supervision of a physician anesthesiologist.

Thank you for your content, new subscriber! Im in no rush to get into CRNA however, that is my dream job ❤ but I need to feel confident before applying! I just graduated with my BSN .. and I’m trying to get into an ICU residency program. Do you think waiting 2-3 years is enough time to soak up all my ICU experience before applying ?

What are the sciences courses you have to have to apply to CRNA school? Including undergraduate?

@jacobivy2854 4 дня назад

There is no reason not to crush the GRE, even if your school doesn’t require it. As the product of a teenage mom living next to a poor Indian reservation in one of the poorest areas of the US, I can say that it’s easy, regardless of what wealth you grew up with. A 320 is very reasonable and attainable score with any amount of prep work. Everyone will have a 3.5+ GPA. Everyone has CCRN. A great GRE score and interview is what will make you stand out.

@justinhunte6267 5 месяцев назад

Does it matter what type of ICU nurse you are prior to applying?

@CatiexCore Год назад

I have all c's in my sciences except for microbiology lol. What do you suggest that I do to improve? I am only considering crna right now because I don't think np sounds very interesting and I am a new grad nurse that only likes critical care.

Retake all the sciences!

Can you talk about how to get in for people that may not get. 3.6/3.6 GPA in undergrad ? Also are there any programs or grants that can help with CRNA school like scholarships? I really want to avoid taking out loans if I can!! Thank you!!!!

@jordanschmidt9772 Год назад

I graduated from a diploma program with a 3.5 gpa, I did my BSN online and went to a pass/fail program so all those credits were a 3.0 which brought me down to a 3.2 :/. Any advice on how to swing that during interviews? I also took an organic chemistry class that I got a 3.7 in and I’m taking a grad stats course now.

@annaSRNA Год назад

You’re on the right track taking grad school classes! I’m not sure if I understand the *3.7 in organic chemistry*-meaning you made an A-? Either way, taking grad school classes + stats is the right way to go, and applying this cycle to see where the cards fall would be a good move!

@@annaSRNA I think PA has the most schools because CRNAs are heavily utilized here.

@janelvaughn Год назад

I think you should apply. I got into crna school with a 3.0 cumulative and I am currently a 4.0 student in the program. If you aren't able to get in maybe try taking a few courses get an A and reapply the next yr.

@Sucknutz_ 4 месяца назад

@@queennef4485 Loans, military (my route), savings. Every cent you can save while working as a nurse should be going to savings, live within the means while a SRNA. Family and or spouse. Along with looking into the PLUS loan. As long as you graduate you’ll have no issue paying the loans back, if your brave enough you can pick up shits on weekends or PRN.

@DcTrimwb6bc 10 месяцев назад

Hey! I am currently in my last year of Pre-PA school and switching to CRNA, by the time I start working as a nurse in the CVICU I will have accumulated at least 4,000 hours working as an Operating Room Aide (10-15% of those hours floating as an assistant on the floors). Do you think this is something that would help me get accepted to CRNA programs? The anesthesiologists I work with have said that having OR experience should be a huge booster since that's the main place that CRNA's work. What's your opinion on this, thanks!!

@DcTrimwb6bc 10 месяцев назад

Also, what would you say the ranking is in terms of letters of recommendation? Like would a letter of rec from an anesthesiologist have like the most weight, then a CRNA, then nurse manager? Thankyou again!

She started travel nursing during peak COVID which was a disaster but at least is excellent experience so she probably learned a lot on the job

@Kite166 Год назад

does it really take 7 years to become that?

@annaSRNA Год назад

4 years nursing school, 2 years (minimum) ICU, 3 years CRNA school-nine years minimum :)

@TheHololo1234 10 месяцев назад

It doesn't take that long. The girl went the BSN route. Get your ADN, work in the ICU and work in your bachelor's while you're in the ICU. You'll save yourself money and time.
