    Jetman replied to milenko's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Jetman replied to Jetman's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I realize that the interviewers ARE NOT expecting you to answer anesthesia type questions, I never made that assumption. My point was in addition to getting good GRE scores, passing the CCRN, and...

  23. Why aren't we unionized?
