4. Any CRNA's who were RRT's out there?

   meg228 replied to tenman11's topic in CRNA

   I was not an RRT but one of my fellow SRNAs was and I can only see it as having been an asset to her. As far as getting in to school I think as long as you have all appropriate pre-reqs you will be fine though you may have more luck with MS programs ...
