20. Survive CRNA School: Guide to Success as a Nurse Anesthesia Student

by Chris Mulder


If you've made it into CRNA school or are considering applying, you probably know how difficult it will be getting from orientation day to graduation day. As a successful graduate of nurse anesthesia school, I will provide some insight into what it takes to go from a student to a CRNA. Some of these things I learned while I was in school, while others I picked up on after I started working as a nurse anesthetist. It was not an easy road for me, and it won't be for you either. But I hope you can learn from my mistakes and perhaps some of the bumps along the way will be a little smaller. The aim of this book is not to teach you anesthesia itself. Rather, it is to teach you how to survive while learning the art of anesthesia.
