    NCgirl replied to deepz's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    NCgirl replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    NCgirl replied to LaurenP's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think- but am not sure, so please don't hold me to this- that USC accepts Bachelor's besides BSN. That's University of South Carolina, Columbia. Someone correct me if you know

    NCgirl replied to NOPAIN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  9. Any advice for a future CRNA?

    NCgirl replied to cooper's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hey there- read the FAQ on this board, and try to pick your five top schools. Do research into what those five schools want, and try to get on that track. Also, I'd try to get in a high acuity ICU...

  15. ethical dilemma

    NCgirl replied to crnaethics's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    They'll definitely be kicked out of school. I'm not sure where I stand on all of the questions. I wouldn't want a classmate of mine cheating on a test or ANY clinical aspect, but I'm not sure how...
