  13. Crna Programs Without Gre Scores

    jls189 replied to cantillod's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I didn't think the GRE was as hard as people said it was going to be, but I love math. The verb was a little bit harder (analogies). I think the biggest deal is making yourself buckle down to study...

  20. worried about admission....

    jls189 replied to vitkev13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  21. Is the ETS GRE practice test accurate?

    jls189 replied to jfk6668's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
