   MmacFN replied to Regent's topic in SRNA

   Hey Well all the MSN core classes or the Masters core classes (if not applying to a school with an MSN). For instance, i took informatics, health policy and epidemiology. So 3 of them are all done before i even start. Took em all online too!

   MmacFN replied to dfk's topic in SRNA

   Hmm Well, CRNAs do not need an order to decide the course or tx or how to get there. As for the question, well... simply put there isnt one. Research has clearly shown that cuff pressures can be off upward of 20 points actual BP. ABPs are the only tr...

    MmacFN replied to extowboater's topic in SRNA
