What is the most difficult obstacle on becoming a CRNA? #Fall25

nursing career-path healthcare nurse fall25 crna
Thank you comment icon Hello Ava! You are my ideal mentor, but I will give some advice from an international perspective (I live in Balkans, Albania) and becoming nurse at a young age it does not much effort regarding education path - A Bachelor of Professional in Nursing is about 3 years. Of course, the experience is the best way to learn (learning by doing) and the challenges the nurses face in Albania is like critical thinking and compassion. I have some experience in hospital because I have work as medical cashier and overall, the nurses in that hospital has been working well under pressure. In some cases of emergency, they solved the problem quickly. Hope it helps! Blessing Isida Mici

Timothy ’s Answer

The hardest part of becoming a CRNA is earning a competitive ICU profile and surviving the admissions bottleneck, not intelligence or motivation alone.
If you plan early, target the right ICU, protect your GPA, and prepare financially, the path is difficult—but absolutely achievable.

Mary Katherine’s Answer

The hardest part of being a CRNA is that it is a smaller field and there are less schools that offer a program like that vs. something like a nurse practitioner. It is a growing field and it is going to continue to be more competitive to get into. Having ICU experience as well as any additional professional certifications that go along with that will help as well as maintaining a high GPA in nursing school. Build strong relationships to get good recommendation letters and see if you can shadow or work alongside CRNAs to have more insight on what they do on a day to day basis.
