   Thanks for replying!! I like Apex a lot, especially for understanding concepts. I just need to get into the mindset of using only one source when it comes to review material. I was under the impression and specifically related to the SEE, that I ne...

   deroth1 replied to deroth1's topic in CRNA

   Thanks for the advice. My immediate supervisor and former professor will be the two RN's I will use for reference. And for the 3rd, which could be any one, I will consider a CRNA to give me reference, possibly the one I plan to shadow.

8. 3 Letters of Reference for NA Program?

   deroth1 replied to deroth1's topic in CRNA

   Sorry for the confusion. CLARIFICATION: 3 references are needed, and of the 3, two must be from RN's--which are my immediate supervisor and former professor. I actually like the idea and will now consider another nurse, i.e., CRNA I plan to shadow...
