  10. Chemistry Now or Later

    mrdearmas replied to BusyBody98's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A poor chem grade will actually hurt you. Don't just take it to take it. CRNA programs will look at your BSN GPA, your overall GPA, and your science GPA. You can always take your chem courses after...
