Incredible video David. Very non traditional student here. Will be finishing my BSN at age 47 and applying after. Have been a nurse for 3 years and was a paramedic for 10 years before that. Have 3 teenagers soon to be graduating HS. Figure ive got another 15-20 years of work after graduating and this is the career that has occupied a part of my mind each day for the past 20 years. Ive gotten to do and see alot but ive always come back to anesthesia. We will see what happens. Thanks for the content. new sub.

Ah thank you for watching! And congrats on finishing nursing school!

Awesome videos, David!!!! Very much look forward to a video on your future career plans. 🤟😊

Thank you so much. It is so encouraging❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hey David, I am so excited to have watched your journey. I’m an SRNA and have to move out of state for school in the summer. I remember you talking about moving around every three months as a student, but I don’t know the video. Do you mind fleshing out the experience of constantly being on the move as a student? Thankyou so much for the content. It has been so insightful.

What’s up bro, I’m very proud of you! I look up to all anesthesiologist and CRNA, I really enjoy donating to the CRNA foundation, since it was hard for me to go to college because of my cerebral palsy, I really wanted to be a CRNA! You rock man! It takes a special person and skill to be an anesthesiologist or CRNA and you’re one of them!!!!!! I’m 34

Wonderful video, so informative. Thank you!

I've watched all your videos. Thanks for sharing your CRNA journey. I guess I'll just marry a CRNA guy than going all through what you've been through.

the goat himself returns, great vid

Congrats!!!!

Great video! I am an ER to ICU RN and current AGNP that just got accepted to CRNA school. I would love for you to make a video about how your NP experience helped your transition. All the best in your senior year 🎉

Love this!! Thanks so much for watching! You chose a great second- career. Your NP experience will serve you well in your anesthesia training too. It may not seem like it now, but come clinical rotation time, you will be miles ahead in some regards (especially when it comes to pre ops and understanding optimization for surgery/anesthesia).

@NptoCRNA - Had a quick question - I'm graduating nursing school in August, and I'm picking my top two preceptorship preferences for next semester (last semester). I obviously selected ICU as my top pick, but I was debating between ER and PACU for my second preference in case I don't get an ICU preceptorship. I was just wondering if you think ER would be the next best preceptorship to get if someone wants to become a new grad ICU nurse in the near future? Some told me PACU was good because they have vents, fluids/titrations, but others said ER provides acuity and critical thinking that ICUs would prefer. Any advice for someone who wants to get into the ICU and CRNA school in the near future would be appreciated!

Wow!!! Congratulations!! You are so close to being done.:):) That's so exciting!! How difficult is your program? And how many classes can you remediate if you score below the grade?

Great content .. do you have a video on the logistics of moving for each rotation?

Good question! I don't actually, but Ill do a video in the future!

Hi David, thank you for your videos as they provide so much insight. I can't even imagine how terrifying it is to run your own room for the first time, but I understand it's the only way to gain the confidence to do this job on your own. As someone still very early on their path, I was hoping to reach out to you via IG to really understand what it takes to embark on this journey. Thank you for your guidance to those who wish to follow your path!

Thank you for watching! I'm so glad you find the content useful! It definitely is stressful at first, but like anything, it gets way better with time and repetition!

I published a research paper for my DNP project, and we can pick to have a team or alone.

Was a front loaded program something you wanted instead of integrated?

I’m applying to CRNA school but I’m worried about the school/life balance… I’m afraid school will consume me and my mental health will suffer. How has the balance been for you in the first half vs second half of school?

Do all CRNA programs have u travel out of state for clinical rotations? Or does that just depend on each school

@DavidWarrenNP

Ай бұрын

It really just depends on each school- some schools have a home clinical site, and some schools rotate clinical rotation sites every three months.

From Odessa Texas! What hospital did you go to?

Nice! I was at Odessa Regional! I really enjoyed my rotation there. It was actually my first time spending any time out in West Texas!

When do you transition from a CRNA student to a CRNA resident? Or do you matriculate into CRNA with the title already?

Dont call us residents lol

Hey David, nice to hear you are doing well! I been following your videos since november and I like the content! It so happens that I am from McAllen, TX (worked at MMC and Doctor's Hospital) I hope you liked your stay there I know its very educational haha. Two peeps of mine are your under classmen at Nationals. I am one semester in a program at Indiana and it went in the blink of an eye. Any pearls of wisdom to thrive and squeeze the most out of this sweet sweet orange called CRNA school? If possible please let me know if I can email you, Thanks! -Javier
