   miloisstinky replied to MelissaRN.FutureCRNA's topic in CRNA

   Im sorry you had a such a crappy day, its frustrating I KNOW!! Being a student is painful, you did the right thing. My motto in school (although some may disagree) was "put up and shut up", mostly because if i fought every battle, nasty remark or con...

13. University of Southern Cal. students, help!

    miloisstinky replied to arubi25's topic in CRNA

    Arubi, no one in my class, including myself, had to take any additional chem courses, they were all covered by the BSN, several of us did have to take physics, which i guess is not standard with the BSN. This is sufficient, email Dr. Gold, the direct...
