    CRNA School Acceptance / Current SRNA
    I want to thank Jenny and everyone at CSPA. I used this podcast to supplement my preparation for my CRNA interviews last year. I was accepted to my top school, and currently entering the second half of my first year as a SRNA. I remain an active listener of CSPA, and have recommended the podcast to friends and family looking to follow their dreams of becoming a CRNA. Thank you for the great content!

    Amazing resource!
    Jenny thank you so much for all the hard work you put into this podcast! It truly is evident and I cannot thank you enough. I am entering the ICU nursing field in the next couple months (recently graduated), hoping to apply to CRNA school after a few years of experience and have been listening to this podcast for months! Although I am in the pre-planning stage, a lot of the information is so valuable even going into ICU nursing! So thank you! 💐
