   Heather R.N. replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in CRNA

   I am just finishing my chemistry & physics courses. The information offered was basic, and its application to anesthesia made it even easier to grasp. Your interests and dislikes sound like mine, and so far I have done very well. If you can do ad...

    Heather R.N. replied to Nitecap's topic in CRNA

    I have to agree with SRNA Kate, just take the test. Your practice scores are great and it has been my experience that scores on the actual test are always higher. As for why we have to take the GRE ? I think it is just one more way of showing them (a...

11. New here, failed boards...

    Heather R.N. replied to Julie5's topic in NCLEX

    I too had a lot of questions like that. Five years later I look back and think how irrelevant that was. The questions should focus on things like, "You walk in the room and the patient is unresponsive and frothing at the mouth what do you do" ? I re...

    Heather R.N. replied to Julie5's topic in NCLEX
