CRNA school is just as awesome and soul crushing as you've heard.

Bolt, I'm glad you guys are having fun I've been an Anesthesia Tech for 20+ years and know the struggle SRNA go through. I pray everyday fir the students that comes to our hospital.

I lovedddd what the guy you interviewed said about stopping competing against each other once you are in you SRNA class.... Very important !!!! As it relieves some of the burden to be in CRNA school. Thanks!!!

I love this channel lol, so inspiring & motivating... Bloopers were life 😂🙌... I genuinely wish the best as you approach the end of your journey my guy ✊

Hi Bolt! Thank you for your sharing! All the best for your nursing career!!

Thanks to you and your classmates for this video!

Extremely helpful information! Thank you guys for this post it was very informational and the advice was extremely helpful! Thank you guys and good luck on your future career endeavors.

Great video. I'll be there in August. Can't wait to get started.

Still watching your videos. I love this type video. So helpful! Please keep them coming as you are able and time permits.

You have the best videos! Inspiring

Love these videos, currently working towards my BSN with plans to start out in a Tele​ unit, then progressing toward varying ICU settings (CVICU and PICU) where I plan to get my CCRN cert.

Thank u for posting this you are awesome!!!

Peace be to you sir! this sounds incredibly grueling, but fun (in a masochistic kind of way)! I'm glad you maintain an exercise regimen. I was VERY impressed with the CRNA s I met whilst doing my PA training. I wish you the VERY best in your endeavors! Peace!

Good video, thank you for the information!

Hey Bolt! First off, I just want to thank you for making a bunch of helpful videos with much needed insight. Secondly, I wanted to let you know a little about myself, my current situation, and also ask you a thing or two that I've been wondering about for sometime now. I currently live in El Paso, TX, I have a Bachelor Degree in Biology as well as Nursing. Have my CCRN, PALS, ACLS, TNCC, GRE, etc, and soon I hope to pass the CCRN-CSC. I've currently interviewed for 2 schools and am currently holding the #1 alternate spot for Western Carolina University's MSN-Anesthesia program. Having said all of this, most CRNA schools put a strong emphasis on the following science courses: General Chem 1, A&P 1 and 2, Microbiology, Statistics and Research, some even want Organic Chemistry. I have an "A" in all of these classes, except for Organic Chemistry, I made a "C". Therefore, I'd like to ask the following: 1. Should I retake organic chemistry even though I've applied to schools that don't require it? 2. Have you needed or have you found it useful to have a good understanding of O-Chem while attending CRNA school? How much O-Chem do SRNAs use? 4. Or is O-chem just a "weeding out method" for CRNA school applicants?

Im really nervous about doing this. Im a high school senior, preparing for the teas test right now, to get accepted into a nursing program. In high school i never studied at all, and had a 1.9 gpa, i feel like learning to study and not be on my computer or video games is going to be extremely hard, but im going to try and learn to study and become disciplined. Pray for me

That was cool pretty down to earth but still real

Great video!!

Stumbled upon this video and realized that Mia worked on the same unit that I am on now!

I had to do a ton of self teaching in nursing school. I hope those skills serve me well

Thank you for this, I'm currently a paramedic and want to get into nursing so I can one day be a CRNA.

Thank you so much for this!! Could you make a video on how you study for CRNA school?

Hey Bolt, Fellow nurse here looking into the CRNA route. I'm glad you talked about the depression side of CRNA. I read a study that said as of 2013, the life expectancy for an anesthesiologist is 66 years. I'm not sure about CRNAs, but I'm sure it's close to it. For people that think that pay is the only factor I would think it over. Mental health is a serious aspect. In the future can YOU talk about the isolation you go through from the public, friends, and family. ALSO, how can I develop my detail orient habit, and kill procrastination?what certifications do you recommend will help me get into an icu. Best of luck and God bless,J. L

I'm a freshman nursing major and I have a 3.0 GPA currently, planning on bringing it up of course. I was so used to not studying in high school and getting away with a 4.0. I'm glad you said you don't study 100% of the time and that you value mental health. I'm just hoping to get out of nursing school alive lol but CRNA seems the best grad option to me and that's the ultimate goal!

What, if any, classes would be valuable taking prior to CRNA school? For instance, chemistry, organic chemistry, A&P again? Thank you Bolt!

hey, im in college right now finishing up my nursing school pre-reqs. i know i want to become an APN in the future, and i was wondering what made you decide to decide to go into Nure Anesthestry? im in between wanting to be a NP and a CRNA

I'm still working toward my Associates Degree in Nursing with the ultimate goal of becoming a CRNA. I personally struggled with A&P. To think that this requires something even more challenging makes me very nervous!

Bolt, what CRNA school you're attending ?

I am 29 years old and I am just starting my BSN course work (I'm a "Junior"). I currently work for a group of Retina Surgeons and I am so excited to start nursing school but, I feel like I am going to be starting so late in the game. Do you see many of these type of people (people starting school later in life) succeed at nursing school as well as CRNA program. I guess I should say I am a very organized and great with time management. It's just discouraging to know I won't be working in my dream job until I am in my late 30s.

So you can’t work when you go to school?

I wonder where are your classmates now and how are they doing?

I’m going into my senior year in highschool. It’s so scary thinking about the future and what steps tot take to get to my goal. I know I shouldn’t be too worried about this right now... I plan on going to a community college first, then going to a regular college earning my masters degree in business and nursing (just in case nursing doesn’t go my way). I just finished my junior year, and I have never pushed myself as hard as I did that year. I maintained a 3.8 GPA and I’m learning to not procrastinate and to always do more than expected. I’m a huge planner and organizer so I hope I can pursue crna as a career. Would you reccomend getting a dog during education, seems like there won’t ever be enough time for one...

Hi there! I will be starting a CRNA Program in Miami next month. Do you recommend any particular resources out there for beginner's to understand the anesthesia machine? Appreciate your perspective and advice!

Did they make it through crna school with you?

Are you able to work as an RN while going to CRNA school or do you basically have to quit your job and focus on school? Or would a casual position still be too much work for how much time you have to take to study, etc?

I'm currently in nursing school. Should I get my associates in chemistry now or wait until I'm ready to apply for CRNA school. I was thinking it would be more fresh if I wanted to take the courses. Which one will make me a better candidate? Thank you! Last question!

What is your most important skill regarding patient care? At the teaching hospital I work at CHLA the attendings/fellows would ALWAYS SCREAM at them..."AIRWAY AIRWAY AIRWAY" , "to-do that LMA/ET TUBE", "YOU INTUBATED HIS GASTRIC", "GET OUT OF MY OR". Do they preach that at your school?

Hey Bolt. How important is your GPA vs. the other criteria (LOR, personal statement) when trying to get into school? most schools that I looked into say at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Also did you have to take the GREs?

Bolt, I recently came across your page and absolutely enjoy the material you provide - thank you! I wanted to ask you, and maybe you have a video on this, but can you provide some advice on how one would remain financially stable while in CRNA School, and can you share some details on how you do it? If you take out loans, did you take out a lump sum to cover your living expenses throughout your entire planned time in CRNA School? I know that if I pursue this route, I would not want to work. So besides saving as best as I can, what steps would you advise be taken? Thank you!!

should i take calculus? I've already taken stats, but i really want to know if calculus is really needed in crna school

What's make an good candidate after one year of experience ? I was thinking having an two degree related to CRNA school. Also, having a good 3.4-3.6 GPA and a strong GRE score.

i am about to go to high school and i want to be a nurse anesthetist, any advice for me? Maybe anything i should prepare myself for?

If you are looking at the crna route, make sure you are passionate about this. I am in a nursing program to become an lvn. After almost a year into it, I can say nursing is not the field for me. I'm just not passionate about treating people. I am however passionate about treating animals and becoming a vet. I will finish the program. But not gonna go further than that. I will go to vet school because I love animals . I will graduate at 26 but I will make good money and have a job I love a lot.

hey! bolt currently I'm high school student, and I'm about to go college this coming fall I just watched some of your videos, you mentioned that chemistry and physics are required, looks like am not good at physics please can you give me valuable advice about that ? Thank you!

How important is a good letter of recommendation ?

what was your major in the four year college you attended?

just a practical question.. were you working while doing your CRNA?

Can you do a video on how to survive financially through CRNA school?

Hi, my name is Ariel Thofield. I only did three years of high school. My "class rank" number was #246 out of 322 graduates. I was the "Class of 2017". I don't trust my parents and I can't trust them. I want to become a "Labor and Delivery" Nurse Anesthesist cuz I like babies, you know. Tell me what I need to do cuz I'm going to school to be a "scrub tech" but I do have anxiety and I can't have kids due to my anxiety.

Hi there, my son is in Grade 12 and he is very interested in becoming a CRNA. May I know what subjects he needs to take and focus on? Is it biology, chemistry, physics?

May I ask which CRNA Program in TN are you in currently?

...is that a distal convoluted tubule diagramming in the background....lol

What do you do if you have a family? Considering CRNA school but that aspect of 'distractions' can't be put on the back burner.

Hello, is it possible to succeed through the CRNA school while working a full-time job, in your personal opinion?

Do you work while in school?

I enjoy your videos but the background music is very distracting on this one.

Is Tennessee a really religious state?

why did you become a crna? maybe you can do a video about that.

Study group? I hate study groups

What school is this?

If you are good at Chem and Phyics, will CRNA school be easy?

Dude if crna is so bad why are you doing it ? Depression , suicide etc I

Um, are you just "naturally" smart or what? lol I feel like once I get to that level Ill have to study 24/7.

i hate that everyones in "competition" mode in med school seems so unfair and cutthroat

What's the chances of someone getting accepted into CRNA school just having your BSN for an year? I feel like that person will do better than someone who been away from school for 5 years

I honestly believe RRTs should be allowed to do this. All the things we learn are closely related and a lot of our RRT specific skills translate well into this feild.

Hot 🥵
