    missnurse01 replied to Candyn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You also hit the nail on the head in regards to clinicals, you do not know where you are going to be assigned...this is one reason I at least investigate the clinical sites. Many schools list what...

  2. What do you look at when you try to pick out a CRNA school?

    missnurse01 replied to Candyn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  4. I guess that door is closed:(

    missnurse01 replied to osdbmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    don't let this deter you if nursing is your goal. Remember that the years will pass no matter what, and you still won't be in your chosen field. Work, chip away at your other prereqs, apply when...

  6. Still completely lost about path

    missnurse01 replied to OBplease's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    missnurse01 replied to Candyn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  9. NP/NA

    missnurse01 replied to YGPHNM's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  11. Path towards CRNA

    missnurse01 replied to ClaRn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
