   Is the CRNA program similar to nursing school? Group projects, lots of research papers, journaling, etc.... Or is it much more science and application-based?

   ExCorporateRN replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

   The school of nursing that I attended receives over 1000 applications each semester for 76 spots. The admission criteria is GPA. So, basically you need to have a 3.9 or higher to get in. However, excellent grades do not mean you will make it. I see p...
