    HighSchool to Tech School to University to CRNA

    raebabelvn replied to Mystesia's topic in LPN to RN

    Well, I think you may be a little confused about your schools. Getting your BSN at a college is great! But med school is for doctors, not CRNA. A CRNA is not a doctor, its a Certified Registered Nurse...

    raebabelvn replied to miya.denise's topic in School, College Programs

    I looked into this program. They only offer it at the Modesto campus (in CA). You go in once a week for theory, and I think clinicals are on the weekend? Not too sure on that point. But you can do the...

    Would you get the vaccine?

    raebabelvn replied to Aneroo's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I won't. Trusting a vaccine thats thrown onto the market that fast is not something I'm prepared to do. Besides, whenever I actually do get the seasonal flu shot I always get sicker than if I

    I too am low on funds. I checked out the passyourclass link... it looks legit. I'll probably try using those materials. Its not like you have to use the TCN mods. All the same info, well, hopefully
