    gluck replied to suarc's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    "But as for being chastised for doing things the way the previous CRNA/MDA told you to do them? Not only do I not consider that hazing, it's just part of the game." Yes, part of a very sadistic game...

  9. What are good GRE scores?

    gluck replied to harborview's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  10. Crna School Interview Help?

    gluck replied to spideyunit's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    At the risk of speaking for YupYup, the point is having a strong sales pitch and not so much answering a specific question. One of my interviewers flat out said "here's the point where you get to...

    gluck replied to harborview's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  12. Anyone attended previous Nurse anesthesia school and withdrawn

    gluck replied to suarc's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  13. Anyone attended previous Nurse anesthesia school and withdrawn

    gluck replied to suarc's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am so sorry to hear your stories and I agree completely that the hazing is sadistic and has to stop. Yet people will defend it in much the same way people will defend hitting their kids ... it's...

    gluck replied to staline88's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Your math score is quite good, it's just your verbal. Is this because english is a second language, or did you just not study for the verbal? Either way, I would think about retaking the test, but...

  16. Tell or DON'T tell colleagues/staff that you are pursuing CRNA?

    gluck replied to SIGMACHIGUY's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  18. preping to be a CRNA while in nursing school

    gluck replied to racergirl617's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
