Each degree unlocks new opportunities; whether that means stepping into patient care as an RN, advancing to leadership, or specializing in anesthesia.

Whether you’re just starting your NBCRNA prep or refining your review, Ollivate helps SRNAs transform chaos into a structured, effective study rhythm that leads to exam mastery.

Both CRNAs and anesthesiologists play vital, complementary roles in modern healthcare. They share the same goal: keeping patients safe, comfortable, and cared for during some of life’s most vulnerable moments.

4 Practice NCEs & 4 Practice SEEs = Your Secret Weapon

Programs must show they’re always improving and staying up to date with best practices in anesthesia and education.

Collaborative learning for nurse anesthesia students.

Social learning taps into that collaborative energy, helping you go further, faster. Whether you’re hashing out pharmacokinetics with a friend or competing in quiz rounds, learning together sharpens your thinking and keeps you coming back for more.

As an SRNA or a CRNA, you’ve got no time to waste. Whether you’re deep in CRNA board review, preparing for clinicals, or juggling CE requirements, you need study strategies that work. That’s where interleaving comes in—a powerful, science-backed method that could dramatically improve how you learn and retain information.

The idea of a “photographic memory” is incredibly tempting—especially when you’re deep in CRNA exam prep or struggling through dense material. But while some individuals have exceptional recall, research shows that true photographic memory doesn’t exist in adults.

Every time anesthesia is used—for surgery, childbirth, trauma care, or pain management—a CRNA may be the one keeping patients safe. These Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists are advanced practice providers trained to administer anesthesia and monitor patients throughout their procedures.

When memorization doesn’t cut it, the Teach-Back Method steps in as a game-changer. This evidence-based strategy transforms learners into teachers—deepening comprehension, boosting retention, and building confidence.

Research indicates that errors can be powerful catalysts for learning. When you confront a challenging concept or miss a question, your brain engages in deeper processing to correct and reinforce the information, leading to stronger retention and understanding.​
