   premaseeker replied to jmeng's topic in SRNA

   I chose not to attend school in Mpls because I didn't feel like the job market would be favorable when I finished. I've seen a few postings for work in the cities but they have been few and far between. It seems that you might have better luck in Dul...

   premaseeker replied to AustinL911's topic in SRNA

   In my humble opinion it is not to late, but she would have to be ready to endure the INCREDIBLE amount of hoops/work it takes. Also, she doesn't need 2+ years in the ICU, just enough to satisfy the requirements of the program she would apply to. I do...

    I was accepted, but going to Rush instead. I really liked the personal feel to the program but among other things I didn't want to have to constantly drive long distances to clinical sites. Good luck though, I would have gone if I didn't get into R...
