2. Loans for living expenses?!

   studyingcrna replied to rockexrolloh's topic in General Students

4. Removing barriers to admission!

   studyingcrna replied to cookderosa's topic in CRNA

5. private loans without co-signers

   studyingcrna replied to ltac's topic in CRNA

10. One year CRNA program?

    studyingcrna replied to MsHazel's topic in CRNA

    No way, your friend was misinformed. CRNA is a masters level program. I am not even aware of anything you can get a Masters degree in, in one year, let alone something as technical and specialized as CRNA. Hope this helps!
