4. Currently in OBLC

   Beanseye RN replied to newmeafter45's topic in Government

   I didn't say I run well. I said I run faster if someone faster than me is running and I push to keep up. Sometimes it works better than others... I only need a time of 18:42 to make 60 points. Age has a very few but pleasant perks. ...

9. Army CRNA options

   Beanseye RN replied to Beanseye RN's topic in Government

   Thanks WTB. I will have to hammer that one out. CRNA is not a deal breaker at this point. However, I'm almost ready to submit packet to RN Board (was supposed to be this month, but next is more likely). But entry a year later is a thought (if that's ...

10. Army CRNA options

    Beanseye RN posted a topic in Government

    My direct commission packet is almost complete. I was looking at options for the CRNA program. I meet criteria for CRNA selection except the 1 year of critical care experience and GRE in last 5 years. GRE should not be an issue. My question is if I ...
