Why do you want to be a CRNA? - answer✔✔- 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 - answer✔✔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.

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
- passed CCRN
- I didn't get great grades in my udnergrad degree at UMD but that was simply out of a lack of
maturity to and I wasn't ready to handle college at that time in my life, didn't take it seriously. its
one of my biggest regrets but my poor GPA has nothing to do with the fact that my classes were
hard- I simply didnt try.
I wanted to prove to myself and to the admissions committee that I can do well in really hard
physical science courses so I enrolled in medical biochemistry at the univ of new england this
past summer - they said it was the hardest science prerequisite they offered. I took it and got an

You seem so confident, how prepared are you to be a novice again? how well do you handle
criticism? - answer✔✔you learn that there are many different personality types in the hospital
setting, that everyone has a way of doing things and they all have varying degrees of how
important they believe their way is
to me, the upmost priority is keeping the patient safe, and as long as thats maintained, I kind of
just can take everything else with a grain of salt and this allows me to not really take criticism to
heart and instead be pretty open to what others have to say and see if I can learn from them
without being jaded or insecure..
when i was a novice in the ICU if we did something wrong and someone criticized us, I took
things really personally. as the years went on and I transitioned into a senior nurse on the unit, I
know that if I am trying to stop someone from doing something or teach them something, its not
because im being mean, its because you often times dont know what you dont know and have to
