5. Just finished the GRE today

   Crossfit SRNA2b replied to Crossfit SRNA2b's topic in SRNA

   If i could only choose one book, i think far and away the princeton review was the best. I attribute 95 percent of my score to princeton review and kaplan gre vocab in a box. I wasnt necessarily on a rigid study plan but what i did was i started mem...

6. Can you apply to CRNA school before meeting all the requirements?

   Crossfit SRNA2b replied to Hartley's topic in SRNA

   Crossfit SRNA2b posted a topic in SRNA

   Basically the title says it all. Im curious why people apply to the schools that they do. Now i always hear the generic responses, "go where you fit in" and "someplace where you would like to live"(actually not a bad one) but how do you know if you ...

   Crossfit SRNA2b posted a topic in SRNA

   So i just finished up the GRE today and i can honestly say it was definitely more stressful than anticipated. But i ended up scoring a solid 1380, v:660 q:720, so i'm pleased with the 2 month study plan, and the hard work paid dividends. Anyways, i j...

9. Why all the dislike for young nurses who already know they want to be a CRNA

   Crossfit SRNA2b replied to I_See_You_RN's topic in SRNA

   I think both sides of the fence can take blame on this one. I, one who has researched the crap out of this profession, can definitely see where the poster is coming from. I can sense a subtle disdain from many of the nurses from this forum when an in...

    Crossfit SRNA2b replied to Crossfit SRNA2b's topic in CRNA

    I'm a "He" just to address the whole gender issue. Aside from that, i'd have to disagree with your above statement. From the people that i have talked to who are currently in anesthesia school, I have been told that there has been no real difference...

    Crossfit SRNA2b replied to Crossfit SRNA2b's topic in CRNA

    Sorry been away on vacation for the last week. One of the problems with networking at my hospital is that there are no crnas. In nevada, the anesthesiology groups are pretty powerful and have pretty much black balled most crnas from working in the st...

    Crossfit SRNA2b replied to Crossfit SRNA2b's topic in CRNA

    Sorry been out of town and away from my computer. One of the problems with networking at my hospital is that there are no CRNA's. In nevada the two anesthesiology groups of MDs apparently are pretty powerful and not many CRNAs work in the state of n...
