FREE! CRNA School Interview Prep Guide: https://www.cspaedu.com/uc9a5ih4

While dismissal from your program is not common, there are a number of steps you can take even before gaining acceptance into school that will ensure you are prepared for what lies ahead. 

Today we are speaking with Dr. Jason Bolt, DNP, CRNA about the most common reasons students are dismissed from their clinical location (or their program altogether), as well as how to stay away from these pitfalls. 

In this episode, we cover: 

•  The 3 main reasons SRNAs experience dismissal 
• Crafting a study plan that actually works for you
• How to find information about your program and its grading scale ahead of time
• How to best navigate your clinical rotations, go the extra mile, and manage your stress level 
• Best practices for handling social, emotional, and mental challenges as you progress through your program
• The importance of shadowing experience
• Setting boundaries around your time to set yourself up for success
• Valuable advice for newly accepted SRNAs to prepare for the path ahead
