Your shadow days can be some of the most high-yield experiences for you. ⁠
⁠
If you walk in unprepared, you’re missing out on a massive opportunity to collect some valuable data. ⁠
⁠
Your shadow experiences will yield some valuable information, which is why it is one of the first things you should do if you think you’re interested in becoming a CRNA. ⁠
⁠
Of course, you’ll get to see the role of the CRNA and how it differs from the ICU nurse or other APRNs. But, here are some things you may not have thought about: ⁠
⁠
You’ll learn (if you ask): ⁠
👉What are some of your favorite and least favorite things about being a CRNA? Or about this job in particular?⁠
👉 What is something you were surprised to learn about the CRNA profession that you didn’t initially know?⁠
👉 What were some pros and cons about the program that you attended? ⁠
👉 What skills as an ICU nurse do you think prepared you the most for CRNA school success? ⁠
⁠
Reflect on the qualities and characteristics of the CRNA that you shadowed, what qualities do you also possess? This helps tie in with your “why”. ⁠
⁠
Don’t walk into your shadow days without being prepared. Maximize this experience and make sure you have some questions prepared ahead of time. ⁠
