CRNA INTERVIEW (ACTUAL)Why do you want to be a CRNA? - ANSWERS-- im really fascinated with physiology
and pharmacology, the pathophysiology behind disease states
- I had brain surgery twice in the last two years and it was just the most surreal
experience being on the other side of the operating room. I had a benign brain
tumor that was totally removed by the second surgery, but the road was long and
scary
- before my experience I always had the mentality that the recovery starts as soon
as the patient rolls out of the operating room
- now I see that the actual surgery is, if it goes right- the true fix; the rest of it is
kind of background noise and paves the way for a successful path for the patients
recovery but I developed an extremely personal shift in my viewpoint that had so
much to do with just being so grateful for an operation that saved my life.
- I want to be in the theater that performs the most real magic, the place that is
often overlooked in healthcare, but is the place that most organically saves
peoples lives
- I also love pathophysiology; my background in neurobiology and physiology has
paved a foundation for the way I learn- that every disease process is a long chain
of reactants and products, and if you understand the pathway, you dont need to
simply memorize a list of symptoms- you can identify them by understanding the
pathway
- anesthesia is unique in the sense that you get to apply this knowledge and
anesthesia foundation to each individual case and combine it with very technical,
detail oriented skills
,- I think anesthesia is unique in the sense that you see the outcome from start to
finish, which is so satisfying. Other advanced practices roles are somewhat
removed from the bedside and disconnected often times to a tangible outcome
Why Pitt - ANSWERS-My sister is a CRNA and all of her CRNA friends have spoken
very highly about the program
- Barbara Dunn
- Katie Liss
both attended Pitt program and spoke so highly of it, they were just so thankful
they went to the Pitt program because they felt so well prepared when they
graduated
my sister knows people she worked with who went to pitt-- she is a CRNA and she
went to columbia and she didnt have a good experience in her program but she
knows a lot of people she works with that speak really highly of Pitt and so that
was huge for me
I want to attend a school with a strong track record of success, as it's my priority
to feel that I will succeed.
The University of Pittsburgh DNP Nurse Anesthesia Program boasts impressive
statistics; with class attrition rates averaging 4 to 5 percent within the last ten
cohorts. The vast majority of the students graduate, which speaks to not only the
strength of the program but also the reliability of it to replicate results year after
year.
, ]99% employment rate within 6 months of graduation means graduates from your
program are highly sought after. This speaks to its reputation of being a program
that produces competent nurse anesthetists.
It's also important for me to choose a program where I will feel ready to enter
clinicals. The front-loaded design and simulation lab of the program will both
serve in this purpose; a statement that is also reiterated in your program
testimonials.
How long have you been in the icu? - ANSWERS-5 years this July
Tell us about what preparations you have done to prepare for the rigors of crna
school - ANSWERS-I shadowed two times over the course of several years and saw
various cases with multiple CRNAs to ensure that this was the field that was right
for me
I have taken a leadership role in my unit as charge nurse, I have been the primary
preceptor for many successful nurses in my CVICU
I have taken roles in educating, and worked with the educator to find gaps in
knowledge that I see evident on our unit, and I have discussed these gaps at
length with our educator and have come up with ways to bridge learning gap
- for example just this past April I did an hour long lecture that was on zoom for all
the ICU staff (nurses, doctors, mid-levels) on epicardial pacing, mode selection
