  2. GRE changes

    I have one thing to add. I was tought with test taking , ie paper and bubble format, that the person taking the paper test actually has an advantage. Why? Because, you may not get the questions answer immediately. So by marking that question an...

  12. Nurse Anesthetist Shortage

    I surprised that if there are demands for CRNAs that more hospitals don't open more schools. There is money to be made on their part for each paying student. Also, you would think that the hospital then would be able to romance a perspective gradu...
