7. Do CRNA schools care where you got your BSN?

   DreamMatrix replied to future_anesthetist's topic in SRNA

   DreamMatrix replied to ncemt's topic in CRNA

   " anesthesiologists at last "liberated," as he puts it, from being confined to any single operating room". MDAs are already "liberated", by CRNAs from the OR. They are the only medical specialty that can have others doing their work and make money...

    A few shifts over the long holiday break is OK. Working during the school semester is not a good idea. DM

    DreamMatrix replied to cfarley's topic in SRNA

    Working has been the failure of many a student. Don't do it...you just might find yourself working those shifts full-time and never as a CRNA. DM
