5 Components Nurses Need to Become Competitive CRNA School Applicants — And Build a $200K+ Career

This 90-minute workshop helps ICU nurses stop guessing, get competitive, and build a CRNA plan that actually works.

Don’t miss your opportunity to avoid common mistakes and prepare your application the right way.

📅 Date: Tuesday, January 20, 2026
Time: 5:00 pm EST
🖥️
Where: Virtual Experience

🎁 BONUS: Everyone who attends gets the CRNA Readiness Scorecard at the end of the workshop (valued at $97) — FREE

We'll cover the 5 essential components every competitive CRNA applicant needs:

IDENTIFY: Audit your readiness, identify your competitive range, and know exactly which programs are realistic targets for YOU.

IMPROVE: Learn the strategic approach to your GPA, GRE, and CCRN without retaking classes or waiting years.

INVESTIGATE: Build your target list of 5-8 right-fit programs (safety, target, reach) based on YOUR profile.

ILLUSTRATE: Document your ICU skills so admission committees see you as a standout candidate, not just another bedside nurse.
IMPRESS: Understand what programs are really evaluating and how to prepare so you walk in ready (not terrified).

PLUS: You'll leave with the exact roadmap to go from "Am I ready?" to "I'm submitting my application" without the overwhelm AND stress!

Here's why you should attend:

Most nurses who aspire to become CRNAs start the journey with no direction, no plan, and no real support. They spend months — sometimes years — wasting time, money, and energy trying to figure it out alone. And the mental toll that comes with confusion, isolation, and second-guessing every decision is real.

 Struggling to figure out what CRNA programs really want? 

This workshop will walk you through simple, actionable strategies to build a competitive CRNA application with clarity and confidence.

 Meet Your Trainer! 

Kiki Mattress, MSNA, CRNA

I got into CRNA school at 39 years old — after moving my family 1,000 miles, working full-time in the ICU, and battling imposter syndrome every step of the way.

I know what it's like to feel uncertain, overwhelmed, and stuck wondering: "Am I ready? Do I have what it takes?"

Since becoming a CRNA, I've helped hundreds of ICU nurses navigate this exact journey through 1-on-1 coaching, mentorship programs, and the Society of Future Nurse Anesthetists (SFNA) — a community I founded to give nurses the clarity and support I wished I had.

And here's what I've learned: You don't need perfect stats. You need the right roadmap.

That's what this workshop gives you.

Stop guessing. Start applying.

Your CRNA journey begins here.

You're ready for this.
