   LackeyRN replied to Millie09's topic in SRNA

   These may not be "mind blowing" but I asked practical questions at my interviews. These are some that were suggested to me from CRNA's: What is your attrition rate? What is your rate for passing boards? Will I be sharing cases with other students? Wh...

6. Georgetown Decision

   LackeyRN replied to FreeDRN's topic in SRNA

   I also have not heard from Georgetown. I expect they will inform candidates via email. At the interview some of the current SNRAs at Georgetown stated they waited longer than the Monday following the interview. This is a holiday week, so I would not ...

11. 12 lead EKG?

    LackeyRN replied to Savin'Em's topic in SRNA

    May I ask what schools wanted your score? I didn't realize my score would matter when I took the test. I just winged it and only got a 97. I had several questions about po cardiac med classes with 4+ syllables that I had never heard of (I worked in C...

12. 12 lead EKG?

    LackeyRN replied to Savin'Em's topic in SRNA
