The biggest mistake that we see CRNA school applicants making? ⁠
⁠
Well, there are a few big things but the biggest, most preventable one? Not mapping out your application timeline.
⁠
(comment TIMELINE if you want me to send you the custom tool I created to help you avoid this trap - we’ll create your custom application timeline)
⁠
Taking a science class can take 12 weeks. Need to take two? Unless you want to overlap, now that’s 6 months. (Most applicants are taking a few, btw. Some, up to 6!) ⁠
⁠
Then studying for the GRE, that’s another 8-12 weeks. ⁠
⁠
CCRN? Add at least 4. ⁠
⁠
CSC or CMC? Let’s say another 4. ⁠
⁠
2 classes + GRE + CCRN + another certification? ⁠
⁠
😱 That’s 11 months. ⁠
⁠
Then life happens, vacations, you pick up extra shifts. And before you know it? You’re cramming for your GRE, wrapping up your Pathophysiology final, and trying to work on your personal essay. ⁠
⁠
Don’t be that guy (or gal). ⁠
⁠
People always ask me...when should I start getting started on my application? Well, you should already have a clear plan of attack mapped out 1 year in advance. Trust me, it flies by.
