CRNA Interview Personality & EQ Exam With
Complete Solution
Why do you want to become CRNA - ANSWER Since I can remember, I have always wanted to
be a professional athlete. After multiple knee surgeries that dream of mine was over.
Since then, I have developed a new interest in science, nursing, and patient care. A new goal
was set to practice at the highest level of my license and to reach what I consider the NFL of
nursing: CRNA.
I'm proud of Caring for patients when they're at their worst, but I believe God chosen me to
leverage my gifts to be able to provide in more ways than just at the bedside.
I work side by side with great nurse practitioners in the icu but drawn much more to the 1-on-1
focused care that comes with anesthesia.
Every time I shadowed a CRNA in the OR, it just felt right. During my first shadow experience, I
was able to see how the anesthetist interacted with the patient perioperatively-preoperatively
performed an airway assessment, induced the patients, and deployed the anesthesia plan into
the operation room.
I was able to experience the intraoperative phase level of autonomy he had and how he
communicated with surgeons and nurses in the room while simultaneously monitored vital
signs and adjusted anesthesia.
I was able to witness emergence and how we safely rolled the patient back to PACU for
monitoring.
Last year I attended an 8 hour long Diversity CRNA information session that fueled my fire
, even more.
For me, anesthesia is a calling since it requires a special person to learn and understand the
delicate sciences and also be able to hold patients' hands when they are cold, naked, and
vulnerable, and say, "I got you."
It gives me flexibility in my life. I will be allowed to work in all environments ranging from
university hospitals to critical access hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, pain management
clinics, education, and much more.
What are your strengths? - ANSWER 1. Resiliency & Grit
2. Poise
3. Coachable
What are your weaknesses? - ANSWER - lack of self care
- too many projects/ goals at once
- frustration with bad patient outcomes - too attached
Why should we choose you for program? - ANSWER My "why" is bigger than me.
I'm on a mission to positively impact thousands of lives.
I plan to advance this mission through direct patient care, education, influencing health and
technology, and the betterment of current nursing practice .
Acquiring a DNP in anesthesia will be the catalyst for even more influence through your
program.
