CRNA School Prep Academy Reviews 

“Congratulations! You've been accepted into the DNP Nurse Anesthesia Program.” Seeing these words made time slow down just a bit. The resources provided by CSPA played an integral role in my understanding of nurse anesthesia, my mindset shift, and my confidence during my interview. As a widowed mother with small children, I came into my application process feeling inadequate despite all my experience and credentials. However, hearing interviews on the CSPA podcast of other parents assured me that, albeit challenging, it is possible. I used TeachRN to book essay and resume critiques and mock interviews. The critical care library helped me understand pharmacology and ventilators on a new level. And the advice received on the private Facebook group was invaluable. I cannot say enough great things about this platform. I was accepted into my top-choice school on my first attempt, and I am so grateful to Jenny and the entire team for helping me achieve my dreams.

CSPA has been a game changer for my applications this year. I applied to three schools and got two interviews and got denied at both. This year after working with CSPA, I applied to two schools and I got accepted to both, one being offered the same day as my interview! I would highly recommend the 12 month course! Everyone is so helpful and the content is amazing. It made me a better ICU nurse as I prepared for school!

CSPA is a great tool. Everything from their podcasts to interviews are very helpful. They have great interview questions that include personal, clinical and math questions. The website is a little bit confusing at first but once you get a handle on it its easy. Utilize all of the resources as this subscription is pricey.

Lots of great info and a great community to be apart of! I was able to get into CRNA school even though my undergrad transcript was not the strongest - instead I focused on my other strengths including leadership on my unit. Highly recommend if you are struggling with how to stand out as a candidate!

This program is the reason why I got into CRNA school! I recommend it to anyone who wants to be a CRNA. The prep academy has so many resources and amazing tips for every part of the process of applying to school no matter what stage you’re in. I got in my first application cycle! And im not the typical candidate either (previous college GPA 2.8!). I also think I was a better ICU nurse because I was studying using their resources. Thanks prep academy for all of your help through the years!

This program is absolutely incredible. Everything you could ever need and more is provided to ensure you are prepared in every possible way to get both get into CRNA school and thrive in CRNA school. In addition to the resources CSPA provides, the community and support system they have grown is unlike any other. I highly recommend CSPA to any aspiring CRNA. Thanks to CSPA, I was offered admission to my top school on my first round of interviews!

With the help of this fantastic group (and a little bit of luck), I thank God for allowing me to say I got into CRNA school! I start my dual DNP CRNA/AGACNP program this fall. I am stoked to be a part of such an incredible profession. I cannot thank CSPA enough for all the services, online mock interviews, meetings, and tips on successfully getting into CRNA school.

I was apart of part of the Guarantee Program and thanks to their exceptional guidance and support, I gained acceptance to CRNA school. From the very beginning, the team provided invaluable insights into the application process, helping me craft a standout application that showcased my strengths and passion for anesthesia practice. Whether it was refining my personal statement, preparing for interviews, or navigating the intricacies of the admissions process, the team was there every step of the way, offering expert advice and unwavering encouragement.

Personally I am self driven. I didn't use CSPA for all its available resources but myself and colleagues used the resources that were applicable to us and our study habits. We used it for a great deal of our interview prep and review. Would definitely recommend.

I am part of the CSPA GUARANTEED program. I have been following CSPA since 2020. I applied to one school, 1st interview, 1st acceptance!
It wasn't easy... Do attend your local, state conferences & NETWORK, do volunteer in the community, shadow, shadow, shadow, obtain CCRN, and challenge yourself. Get your essay & CV revised. Do mock interviews.... I did 3! I won't share stats because truly we are all unique...

So far they have been eager to help you understand the material they have to help elevate your career. And they also are so uplifting I wish would have signed up earlier!

I can’t thank CRNA School Prep Academy enough! The ancademy offers so many resources that would take months to find. Each staff member and the community truly care about your success no matter what stage of the process you are in! The Facebook forum was something I utilized the most! Getting feedback from current students or those that have recently interviewed at your perspective school, or are current students are extremely helpful! I also utilized the mock interviews, podcast series, and now the resident bootcamp! I plan to continue to use CRNA school prep academy throughout my program! I couldn’t recommend them enough!

Since joining CSPA in 2021 and participating in their guarantee program, I've gained access to incredibly valuable resources and guidance that have helped me prepare effectively for CRNA applications and interviews. From podcast to NTN and conferences, their effort in support aspiring individuals has been truly remarkable. I am truly grateful to Jenny, Richard and the entire CSPA team for creating such a supportive platform who have help multiple individual like myself to achieve their goal of becoming a CRNA. Moving forward, I will continue to utilize their resources to navigate through my CRNA journey.

I have been a member of CSPA for 4 years. I utilized their resources in the premium membership and loved when new things were added. I did the NAR Bootcamp to learn what I could. The Guarantee Program was what really jumpstarted my application and helped me improve all aspects of the application and interview process. I was able to know what to expect and perfect little details that would make me stand out. I can’t thank CRNA School Prep Academy and all the incredible faculty and staff slough for the guidance they provided. I am proud to say I was accepted and will start in August 2024 and won’t hesitate to say that a huge part of why I did so well on the application and interview is all because of this program.

I was blown away by the amount of content that is provided within the academy and how detailed everything is! I sat here while going through my entire application process utilizing the resources for the interview process, personal essay, résumé setup, etc. and could not have been happier doing so. I give so much credit to Jenny, Richard, and the rest of the team for the time, effort, and dedication they have to build a platform for aspiring CRNAs. I cannot thank you enough!

CSPA has all the resources you need to gain acceptance into CRNA school! The support and community you can find through this program is outstanding. After utilizing the resources offered, I am happy to say I have finally been accepted to CRNA school!

I became a member of CSPA 2 years ago, even though my aspiration's to get into CRNA school started long ago. CSPA provided so many resources that aided my journey to getting accepted to my top choice program this year. I used the interview prep questions, prerecorded mock interviews, and study sessions. Support and encouragement of fellow members on the forums was amazing. I recommend membership for those seeking the CRNA profession.

I recently had someone ask me what do I think truly prepared me for the whole CRNA school process and the answer was: Everything on CRNA Prep School Academy... and I'm not even kidding you.

What people don't realize is that CRNA school is looking at a LARGE and growing number of applicants (200-300) all vying for about 25-30 spots. Most if not all of them are the creme de la creme so literally just having the minimum requirements on the school website is just simply not going to cut it anymore.
In addition to transcript, essay and resume critiquing services, CSPA also points you to resources from actual CRNA's and Nurse anesthesia residents who you can pay to help you with mock interviews, mentoring and sooo much more (Teachrn.com). CSPA, also has faculty members who hold monthly live zoom calls where you can literally ask any question, and yes they are kind and sweet and don't make you feel belittled for asking questions you can find on CSPA's website. They give you information about what to expect and have a ridiculous amount of information in tremendous detail so you can feel reassured, if you still have questions, they welcome emails after. My absolute favorite part is the Facebook group where you can post your "stupid questions" anonymously or not- and have a community of people who truly mean you well answer and make you feel better. It feels like a village, people who come in by masses to wish you congrats, or surround you and encourage you if you weren't accepted. Often times these same people will tell you about how they too failed the first and second time but were then triumphant and will tell you the steps they took to become a stronger applicant. So when people ask me what I think helped me the most I just say CSPA cause it has all the resources you need and you can either pay for the guarantee (which can be a lot for people on a budget) or you can take the most cost effective monthly membership plan! They have something for you, they're warm and welcoming and you just feel like part of the community which is great since most people have to hide that they're applying to CRNA school. Great support. Happy I did the Guarantee!!! 5 STARS!

I thank God for CSPA. They are a one stop shop for CRNA school preparation and guidance. Not only do they provide amazing resources and coaching but they also encourage and motivate students for success. Truly integral to my successful admission.

CRNA school prep academy is an invaluable resource for education and support while applying to CRNA school. Jenny and the team are the best cheerleaders are so inspiring, and genuinely want you to succeed!
