Sending huge hugs of thanks to CRNA School Prep Academy for the amazing resources I’ve utilized over the past year. I DID IT!! I gained acceptance and truly can’t believe I will fulfill my dreams of becoming a CRNA.

Thank you to Jenny Finnell, Richard Wilson, and all the CSPA expert contributors who helped me navigate this process. I am so grateful for this group. I utilized the pharm lectures, 5-day interview prep, and many live events too.

My best advice is to put in the work and keep your eye on the prize! There will be road blocks and bumps, but you can get through them if you stay persistent.

Been following CSPA for a couple of years now and I got into my top program – the US Army Graduate Program in Anesthesia Nursing (USAGPAN) on my first attempt applying to school!
