Ryan Fredricks, MSN, CRNA
Hey, I’m Ryan, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist in the Bay Area who reached my CRNA goals at a young age. My journey began in a small California town, motivated by my parents’ unwavering support and my relentless ambition. Despite countless challenges and setbacks, I graduated as the Salutatorian of nursing school, conquered ICU fears, and finished CRNA school at 26. Today, I’m living my dream, providing anesthesia at the highest level of practice, and enjoying every single day.
Throughout my CRNA school admissions journey, I felt a complete lack of support and resources. I spent countless hours trying to identify each school’s admission requirements, aimlessly prepared my resume, and still felt confused and alone throughout. I’ve made it my mission to completely demystify the CRNA school admissions process and support the nursing community and anyone interested in the career, making information about the CRNA profession accessible to all. Trust me, I understand everything you are feeling and I’m so excited to help guide you through this journey!
