   CRNA Admissions GPA/ Years in ICU

   JacobIloved replied to Sara Marie Lawless's topic in SRNA

   I minored in LPS (Logic and Philosophy of Science) while doing my undergrad nursing degree. I don't think that CRNA schools really care if you have a minor or not. However, minoring in a subject that was heavy on rhetorical logic (and formal logic),...

    JacobIloved replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing
