  4. CRNA Hours

    CABGx4 replied to Ms.HoneyBadgerRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't think there is a big difference as far as increasing your odds of getting into school. What matters is how much you learn and excel at your position. FYI I had 2 yrs MICU and 2 CTICU. Good...

  15. Any advice for a novice CCU nurse?

    CABGx4 replied to jemmens's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac
