    Pete495 replied to rose234's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Although this was started primarily as a Pre-CRNA discussion, which I agree Ether, I think it should be in the Pre-CRNA forum, the issue itself should become a concern among those CRNA's practicing in...

  7. Thomas Jefferson Program

    Pete495 replied to rose234's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hard to believe they can run an efficient program with all the other CRNA schools established and operating in the philadelphia area. guess there is no lack of clinical experience down that way, or...

  13. CRNA being black-balled by former employer

    Pete495 replied to crnadg's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
