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.

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.​
