CRNA Bootcamp 2026.

A live, 3-day bootcamp to help you stop drowning in the overwhelm of CRNA school and start building real capacity for it. Not "try harder." Not "do more." Real training for the parts no one teaches you.

Amanda Kay, MSN, CRNA — competition stage

This isn't another "push harder" bootcamp.

You've got an entire world out there yelling at you that you're never enough — do more, don't stop, or you're weak. If that's what you're expecting from this, you'll be disappointed.

We maximize, but we don't optimize. We push our bodies and our minds the way we push a car that's overdue for brakes — and then we're annoyed when things break down. This bootcamp isn't about trying harder. It's about learning to care for, steward, and sustain yourself during a grueling season.

"What you practice will either sustain you under pressure or betray you under weight."

The training metaphor

Here's the truth about building muscle: it doesn't happen in the gym. The gym breaks the muscle down so it can be repaired and rebuilt stronger. CRNA school works the same way — and so does this bootcamp. Three days, built like a real training week.

The three days

Each day opens with a warm-up to settle your nervous system, moves into the core work, then cools down — because you can't build anything without rest and recovery.

Day 1 - Cardio
Day 1

Cardio

Identity, expectations, and the call into higher leadership. We separate immediate relief from real transformation, and we reframe the whole game: rest is the strategy, not the reward. You don't have a motivation problem — you have a nervous-system problem. That's the best news, because now we can build.

Day 2

Stretching

Inner structure and new baselines. What if it wasn't about doing more, but being more? We find your inner bully, name the patterns that serve and don't, and run an honest self-assessment — including which "anesthesia persona" you default to under pressure. You're not broken. You adapted. And what was formed can be reformed.

Day 2 - Stretching
Day 3 - Lifting the Weight
Day 3

Lifting the Weight

The emotions and pressure of CRNA school — and what they're actually telling you. Pressure exposes what needs to be built. When you hit muscle failure and can't do another rep, you didn't fail — you broke it down so it could be rebuilt stronger. This is where we turn "what an unfair season" into "what an invitation to rise."

What each day contains

  • A warm-up — a short centering practice to settle your nervous system before we begin.
  • Live teaching — the core work for the day, taught live with Amanda.
  • Live coaching — real-time coaching and scenario breakdowns, plus giveaways for those who show up live.
  • A cool-down — integration, so you can carry it without burning out.
  • Prework + emails — short prework before we start, and emails to keep you anchored after.

A note about faith

Amanda's work is openly rooted in her faith, and she doesn't edit that out. But the work is for you whether you share that faith or not. Where she says God, you may read Source, Universe, Wisdom, Higher Self, Conscience, or simply something larger than the panic in your chest at 2am. The mechanics are the same. The honesty is what counts.

★ You're in the right room if you're

Exhausted, doubting, behind, ashamed, faking it, or quietly afraid you don't belong here.

Those are the exact places this work meets you. You're in the right room.

You'll need three days, an open mind, and a willingness to be honest with yourself. That's it. No textbook. No flashcards. No score at the end.

In their own words

What students say.

"I love to listen to you; so much of what you say I still apply to my general life. You are not teaching how to get through anesthesia school, but how to get through and into living life!"

"Just wanted to extend a genuine thank you for launching this as a resource for NARs. I truly appreciate you reminding your followers that the struggle is temporary and that we are capable — this energy often infuses me with the boost I need."

About your guide

I built this from everything I wish someone had taught me.

I'm Amanda Kay, MSN, CRNA. I've been practicing since 2017, I've been a clinical coordinator for a nurse anesthesia program, and I've coached aspiring CRNAs since 2020. I know firsthand what CRNA school does to your body, your mind, and your sense of self.

This bootcamp is the work I wish someone had walked me through — the inner training that decides whether CRNA school shapes you or breaks you. Three days. Live. Real. I'd love for you to join me.

The honest questions

FAQ.

Why is it only $5?

Because this work belongs in as many hands as possible. The Bootcamp is the front door to everything else I do — the Roadmap and the Mindful Leadership Certification. For the cost of a coffee, you get three live days with me. If it lands, you'll know what to do next.

What do I actually receive?

Three live days with Amanda — teaching, live coaching, and scenario breakdowns — plus a daily warm-up and cool-down, short prework before we begin, and follow-up emails to keep you anchored. Show up live for giveaways.

I'm not religious. Will this still work for me?

Yes. Amanda's work is openly rooted in her faith — she's not editing that out — but it's for you regardless. Where she says "God," substitute Source, Universe, Wisdom, Higher Self, Conscience, or "something larger than the panic in your chest at 2am." The mechanics are the same.

I'm not in CRNA school yet. Is this for me?

Absolutely. The bootcamp is built for both RNs preparing to apply and NARs already in school — the identity, capacity, and emotional-regulation work applies wherever you are on the path.

How long does each day take?

The sessions will be an hour. The pre-work is designed to be quick and succinct and fits into your busy schedule.

What if I can't make the LIVE sessions?

The recordings will be sent to you so sign up anyways!

What if I'm unhappy with it?

30-day full refund, no questions asked. But honestly — for $5, the bigger risk is not reading it.
