  5. Honest Opinion

    Trauma Tom replied to CRNAHopeful's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My advice is to take a course on the GRE. Even though the GRE is a standardized test it is not an intelligence test and good preparation should translate into higher scores. I did not do great on my...
