    CABGx4 replied to ginaw623's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I was comparing med school to a CRNA program; not med school, residency, and fellowship. It speaks a lot to a nurse who can learn in 2-3 yrs what mda's learn in 10. It's really apples to oranges...

  4. difficulty of CRNA school

    CABGx4 replied to ginaw623's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  8. Anyone got accepted to CRNA school with a low GRE score???

    CABGx4 replied to nurse_crna2b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I just took my two scores (151 verbal & 149 math) and added them. Maybe I did it wrong but it translated to a 1080 on the old test. I'm 50th percentile with that score. I didn't think it was that...
