    Elizabeth Hanes replied to Rohan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's funny you bring this up, because I was thinking about the same issue after my cadaver lab this morning. We had nothing like the incident you describe happen, but I was noticing that people were...

    Elizabeth Hanes replied to DM74LA's topic in General Nursing

    Dustin, I'm attending UNM right now and can tell you there is no CRNA program here, nor is there any intention to start one, as far as I know. There is at least one program in Phoenix (about 6 hours...

    important question..please please help!

    Elizabeth Hanes replied to futurenurse85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't attend UTMB, but maybe this advice will help. If I were you, I would pick up the phone and calmly call the advising office for the nursing program. Ask if you can make an advising appointment....
