Being a former NP gave you a nice headstart; regardless, you dont sound like a student CRNA AT ALL! You sound like you've been doing this for a minute! Kudos to you man.
Good video man! I always learn a lot from you! You rock, you’re gonna be a great CRNA! I really enjoy donating to the CRNA Foundation, since it was hard for me to go to college to be a CRNA, I really wanted to be a CRNA, it takes a special person and skill to be a CRNA or anesthesiologist and you’re one of them! I look up to all anesthesiologist and CRNA! I have had 14 surgeries because of my cerebral palsy, I’m 33! I’m from Memphis, I donated to the CRNA again on August 1st
@@DavidWarrenNP Can you share what I can start studying so that the didactic portion can be less stressful when I start CRNA school? Should I study pathophysiology
This was very very informative. Thank you for taking the time to breakdown the step to step. General question: what do you hope to specialize in when you become a CRNA?
Hi David, my interview for CRNA school is tomorrow at national. Its the school I really want to go to. I’ve been a valley native my entire life and its actually my #1 choice. Do you have any tips?
@@DavidWarrenNP I was accepted! Thank you for all the videos you have shared of your journey along the way. They were immensely helpful. Godspeed to you at your clinicals!
Many times my patient is NPO for a procedure and has some oral BP meds that we will give with a sip of water. Is this safe and okay to do from Anastasia point of view? Lmk
It means you take all your classes for the first half of the program and then do your clinical for the back half. The other type is integrated where after a few semesters, you’ll start clinical while still taking classes. Pros & cons to both but either will get you to graduation so mostly depends on your learning style, preference for front loaded or integrated, and which school you get into.
SRNAs are called residents? I mean no disrespect, but I'm just curious about that term. As an RN, I can't help but chuckle when I see nurse residencies. I know CRNA training is MUCH more involved, you guys learn medicine, etc. What are your thoughts?
The amazing thing about residencies, is they are for all healthcare professionals. I am thankful for residencies as they help transition newly educated professionals into the clinical space. Lots of people tend to believe a residency is something of only an MD or DO, however, it's been around for other professionals for a while. Residencies are defined as the following. "A structured and supervised postgraduate training program in a healthcare field, designed to bridge the gap between formal education and clinical practice, allowing participants to gain hands-on experience, refine clinical skills, and transition into their professional roles". One of my favorite things to see nowadays is actually RN residencies, even though they are hard to get into in bigger systems, it really allows for extra time to transition into clinical practice! Even more so because of the lack of hands-on in-hospital care that was so prevalent in nursing programs of the past. For me, my entire RN program consisted of 6 months of clinical experience, and over half of that was sitting in a conference room doing homework.
Thanks for inquiring about this! So the term "resident" is being used now in lieu of the term "student" because we are professionals who hold licensure prior to starting an anesthesia program. Much like other healthcare professionals, we have a clinical residency. As mentioned below here, there are nurse residents, physician residents, pharmacy residents, physical therapy residents, etc. I hope this helps!

Congrats on working through your first clinical rotation! Great and informative video, as always. Thanks for sharing! 😀
Great video!

Thank you for watching! I'm not sure! I hope to work at a place that does a variety of cases so I can continue to grow and learn!
Science cleaned you up well…it has humbled you and has made you a better speaker.
A taste of hardship… cool! No man grows by dwelling in his comfort.
Wish you could do a vlog in the hospital

Dude that’s amazing! Congrats on getting an interview. Just be yourself and let your personality shine. They know a good candidate when they see one.

Yes that is normal. Sips with pills is okay as long as it’s not excessive gulps 🤣
Guys what does a "front loaded program means"?
It means you take all your classes for the first half of the program and then do your clinical for the back half.
