Welcome back to the podcast! I’m thrilled to be here with you again after an unexpected hiatus. Life happens, and sometimes we need to pause, breathe, and reset—and that’s okay.

In today’s episode, I’m tackling one of the most frequently asked questions: “I got into CRNA school—now what?”

We’ll dive deep into:

• The 5 most common struggles SRNAs face in their first semester.
• The journey of entering CRNA school, addressing common feelings of self-doubt and imposter syndrome.
• The importance of self-acceptance and the need to manage expectations as one transitions into this new phase of life.
• How to prepare yourself mentally, emotionally, and practically for CRNA school.
• Why managing your mindset is more important than trying to “do it all” before starting.

Plus, I’ll share actionable strategies to:

• Tackle overwhelm, anxiety, fear, perfectionism, and comparison.
• Build your self-concept and resilience as you transition into CRNA school.
• Shift out of imposter syndrome and embrace your worth as a future CRNA.

This episode is packed with insights, tools, and encouragement to help you feel confident and ready for this next chapter.

Whether you’re newly accepted or already in CRNA school, you don’t want to miss this one!
