  6. "When Anesthesia Fails" on Discovery Health Channel

    Sarah Kat replied to Sarah Kat's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  11. Online FAFSA corrections

    Sarah Kat replied to CaterpillarGirl's topic in General Students

    As long as the correction was legitimate (and yours sounds like it) and it wasn't fraudulent, there should be no problems. That's why they allow corrections, because sometimes people find out they...

  13. Which CRNA school would you choose?

    Sarah Kat replied to TraumaNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  17. migraine faker at the ED!

    Sarah Kat replied to z's playa's topic in Emergency

    I don't really know much; I haven't even started nursing school yet. I do think that maybe people suffering from pain would probably tend to rank their pain lower than a drug seeker. Almost every...

    Sarah Kat replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Nursing

    Sarah Kat replied to NickiLaughs's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The LPN school I start in January is a trade school (the LPN program has been in operation since 1952, though). The main reasons I chose this school is that it's NLN accredited, 12 months long, and...

  24. What makes an applicant stand out??
