   Agree with srnamom. I bought 3 books from BooksaMillion, reviewed them for 3 months. Signed up for some free online programs that sends you questions everyday (google for it, can't recall names). That should be enough, I don't see how much more you w...

   CaslaMCGsrna replied to itsmike990's topic in SRNA

   Agreed with ICU. The chemistry you need will be taught! However, if it's been awhile since you have taken chemistry, I do suggest at least getting a basic,organic,general chemistry book and review it prior to start of school (Timerlake has one). Also...

   To answer the OPs post without digressing into name calling or needless bickering........................ many will say that they want to become a CRNA but very few will actually walk the talk. Check back with most in a few years and you should have ...

7. Minority SRNA/CRNA's

   CaslaMCGsrna replied to srnabound3997's topic in SRNA
