The definitive physiology textbook. If your science prereqs feel shaky, this is the reference to rebuild your foundation before CRNA school.
CCRN Prep
Pass CCRN! by Robin Donohoe Dennison
Top-rated CCRN study guide. Getting your CCRN before applying to CRNA school significantly strengthens your application.
ICU Reference
The ICU Book — Paul Marino
The go-to bedside reference for ICU nurses serious about understanding the "why" behind critical care. Shows programs you're thinking beyond tasks.
CCRN Prep
CCRN Exam Secrets Study Guide
Mometrix test prep for the CCRN. More concise than Dennison — useful as a second pass or for candidates who want a shorter format review.
Application Essays
On Writing Well — William Zinsser
The most-recommended book for writing clear, compelling non-fiction. Invaluable for personal statements — teaches you to cut filler and write with purpose.
Critical Care Nursing
Critical Care Nursing — Urden, Stacy, Lough
The comprehensive critical care nursing reference. Strong foundation for ICU practice and CCRN prep. Many CRNA programs reference this in applicant expectations.
Tech & Productivity
Laptop
MacBook Pro M-series
CRNA programs involve heavy simulation software, video lectures, and clinical documentation. The M-series MacBook handles all of it with exceptional battery life.
Note-taking
reMarkable 2 Paper Tablet
Many CRNA students swear by the reMarkable for handwriting notes during lectures. Feels like paper, syncs everywhere, no distractions.
Noise-canceling
Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones
The best noise-canceling headphones for studying. Hospital-adjacent housing, noisy dorms, or library — these block it all out.
Scrubs & Apparel
Scrubs
FIGS Technical Scrubs
The most popular scrubs among CRNA students. Anti-wrinkle, moisture-wicking, and durable enough for long clinical days. Worth the price.
Shoes

You'll use this every day. Get a good retractable reel with a badge holder that fits your hospital ID. Cheap to replace but annoying to lose.
Study Supplies & Wellness
Pens
Pilot G2 Gel Pens (0.7mm)
The CRNA student standard for note-taking and clinical documentation. Smooth retractable gel ink, comfortable grip, and they last. Stock up in the 12-pack.
Pens
Pilot G2 Bold Gel Pens (1.0mm)
Same G2 quality, wider tip. Great for whiteboards, annotating printed slides, and when you want your notes to pop. CRNA students use both sizes.
Highlighters
Zebra Mildliner Double-Ended Highlighters
Soft pastel tones that won't bleed through heavy textbook pages. Double-ended (broad + fine tip). CRNA students use these to color-code pharmacology by drug class.
Notepads
Rhodia Dot Pad Notepads
Dot-grid format is perfect for structured notes, diagrams, and mind maps. Fountain pen and gel ink friendly. CRNA students use these for lecture notes and drug cards.
Hydration
Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier
Long clinical shifts and back-to-back study sessions demand more than water. Liquid IV replenishes electrolytes fast. Lemon Lime and Passion Fruit are student favorites.
Focus & Energy
Magic Mind Mental Performance Shot
A cleaner alternative to energy drinks during long study sessions. Adaptogens + nootropics for focus without the crash. Popular among grad students managing heavy courseloads.
Organization

Laptop Options
Laptop
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon
Editor's Pick. Lightweight, exceptional keyboard, and business-grade durability. Runs Windows natively — great if your program uses Windows-based simulation or clinical software.
Tablet
iPad Pro (M4)
The top tablet choice for CRNA students. Use with Apple Pencil and GoodNotes for handwritten lecture notes, annotating PDFs, and drawing pharmacology diagrams. Pairs seamlessly with a Mac.
Tablet
iPad Air (M2)
The sweet spot between price and performance. Supports Apple Pencil Pro and all the same apps as the Pro. Lighter on the wallet but still handles everything a CRNA student needs.
Monitors & Workspace
External Monitor
LG 27UK850-W 4K Monitor
A second screen dramatically improves study efficiency — reference on one side, notes on the other. This LG has USB-C PD charging for MacBooks and accurate colors. A productivity upgrade that lasts the whole program.
Portable Monitor
ASUS ZenScreen 15.6" Portable Monitor
Take your second screen anywhere. Plugs in via USB-C with no power brick. Study in the library, clinical housing, or wherever you need a dual-screen setup on the road. CRNA students love these for rotations away from home.
Standing Desk
FlexiSpot E7 Electric Standing Desk
Alternating between sitting and standing during long study sessions significantly reduces fatigue. The E7 is a CRNA student favorite — rock solid, quiet motor, programmable height presets, and built to last through the program.
Ergonomic Chair
Secretlab Titan Evo Chair
Editor's Pick. Built for marathon sessions — lumbar support, adjustable armrests, and premium materials that hold up over years of use. If you're going to spend 8+ hours studying, invest in what you're sitting in.
Stethoscopes
Budget Stethoscope
MDF Acoustica Deluxe
The top-rated budget pick for pre-CRNA and early ICU nurses. Solid acoustics at a fraction of the Littmann price. Great for shadowing and clinical rotations where you're not yet ready to invest in the Cardiology IV.
Budget Stethoscope
3M Littmann Classic III
The step-down from the Cardiology IV, but still a Littmann. Excellent for general cardiac and respiratory assessment. A solid choice if you want Littmann quality at ~$40 less than the Cardiology IV.
Badge Accessories
Pocket Reference Cards
Pocket Reference Badge Cards
Laminated badge-sized reference cards for critical care: drip rates, lab values, ACLS algorithms, Glasgow Coma Scale. Clip to your badge reel for instant bedside lookup. A must-have for ICU nurses applying to CRNA programs.
