I'm bummed as well, actually I just read that email she sent us. I thought she was really funny, patient and helpful. I was honestly looking forward to talking to her since she has a Master's in...

Yup you purchase them from Affordable Uniforms and they go on the left shoulder or left sleeve on each top including lab coat. I don't know how to sew either, well more correctly I forgot how, so my...

No, you need to purchase the CSU patches separately and either sew the patches in yourself or pay a fee for Affordable Uniforms to sew it on. Regarding the shoes it's "No canvas tennis shoes, open...

Yes I went to Affordable Uniforms and bought my uniforms. They actually already have the uniforms for CSU so you don't need to wait for them to order it. Well that was what happened in my case. I...

My cumulative gpa is a 3.27 but my prereq gpa was really high like a 3.9. What can I say? Science is tough. Most people flunk out of the Science classes. They're pretty much like weedout classes. Even...

Actually I heard you might not need a BSN to go the NP or CRNA route, you can do an entry master's program but it's expensive and there are not that many programs available. I can see how requiring...

You need a BSN AND at least 1 or 2 years of fulltime work as a Registered Nurse in an ICU or other critical care unit in a hospital to become a CRNA. Also, there is a movement to change the...
