5. My biggest FEAR after I graduate..

   K_A_T replied to K_A_T's topic in Pre-Nursing

9. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

   K_A_T replied to Athlein1's topic in CRNA

   That's not correct. I took more than what med students take in order to get into med school. Med students are NOT required to take physiology in order to get into med school. Atleast to a fair number of med schools in the nation. I know this to b...

10. Why Is Nursing School So Hard?
