7. PENN interview!!!

   RNNJ replied to RNNJ's topic in SRNA

   RNNJ replied to Jax13's topic in CRNA

    RNNJ replied to LovePurple's topic in SRNA

    Here is a glimpse of my week: Monday: Class from 8am to 4pm. Come home at 4:30 so you can study for the classes that you just had and get ready for your cases in the OR the next day. Oh, don't forget to pee, eat, and sleep. Tuesday: Wake up at 4:30 ...

13. Am I the only one??

    RNNJ replied to fungirl's topic in SRNA

    Here is how I see it. There are different types of people in all our daily interactions in life. This happens to be that part of our life where we can't pick who to associate with and who not to associate with. Being out of control is what sucks here...
