  15. Random Drug tests?

  16. Anyone taken the GRE test?

    Hi, I have NOT taken the GRE, but it is in my future. It is required for CRNA school. You might have some luck asking this question in the CRNA forum as there are many SRNAs (students in CRNA school) who would have recently taken the exam. Christine
