Hi everyone. I’m looking for honest opinions, especially from CRNAs, SRNAs, or anyone involved in admissions.
Several years ago, I successfully completed a CRNA program and became board eligible. During that same period, my father became terminally ill, and I made the decision to prioritize caring for him during the end of his life. After he passed, I never truly took the time to grieve, and over time my career goals took a back seat.
Despite everything, my passion for anesthesia has never gone away. I’m considering returning to the ICU, pursuing my FNP, and eventually applying to another CRNA program.
My question is: Would most programs consider that door closed?
I appreciate any honest feedback.
