Tackle the daunting issue of going to CRNA school with credit card debt! Jenny Finnell shares the financial burden it can create and offers practical advice for aspiring CRNAs to navigate this challenge.

Key points covered include:

• The high APR (Annual Percentage Rate) associated with credit cards and the danger of making just the minimum payments.
• A financial simulation that demonstrates how credit card debt can balloon over time while in CRNA school.
• The importance of paying off existing credit card debt before starting CRNA school.

This episode is a valuable resource for anyone considering CRNA school, especially those with existing credit card debt. By understanding the financial implications and taking proactive steps, future CRNAs can set themselves up for success.
