   bayareaFNPstud replied to PTach00's topic in SRNA

   Sorry to hear that. I am a new grad RN from SMU, and hoping to apply to the CRNA program in a couple of years. I talked to some SRNAs there, and some got in with 1 year ICU experience. They told me they attributed it to having CCRN, CMC, and a ton of...

   bayareaFNPstud replied to fivefeet05NP2B's topic in NP Students

   I've been worried about the same thing. I just started my FNP program, and I just turned 22 years old. I will be getting my FNP at 24. I think I'm more worried about how my patients will perceive me.

    bayareaFNPstud replied to bayareaFNPstud's topic in NP
