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!
