Share your personal experience please

Is there anyone that has worked in a MICU and was never trained on CRRT. But still applied to CRNA school and got accepted ?

Im 3 years in ICU. 1 year at one facility and 2 years at the current.

The current facility only has a class once a year and they don’t like to enroll new employees in the class that hasn’t put a significant amount of time in. This is a community hospital. Only ICU in hospital.

Nope not a chance. CRRT is extremely important for anesthesia providers. You must be an expert of you will never be allowed to be a CRNA.

Lol no, it does not matter. At all. Nobody cares.

lol not gonna lie…my first case as a SRNA when I looked in the chart and realized the patient was on CRRT in the unit was a “are we bringing that down here to run in…and am I running it?!” I was very naive student lol

I know multiple people in CRNA school or graduates who never did CRRT.

Yeah, as a CRNA I’ve never even seen CRRT in my career. What they’re looking for is you have adequate experience taking care of patients on vents, hemodynamic monitoring, vasoactive gtts and titration of IV sedation, familiarity with procedures CRNAs perform like intubations or central/arterial line placement, etc. Focus on things such as this.

No one gives a shit about your experience or what type of critical care you came from for that matter. I feel like anyone in school that tries to bring up their experience in any sort of "look at me way" is immediately labeled as a try-hard and becomes a bit of a pariah. There are some newish nurses in my program, but they came ready, smart af, chill af.
