LSU CRNA 2020

Published

Hello!

I wanted to start a thread for all of us applying to LSU’s CRNA program starting in 2020. Past forums have seemed to be helpful in keeping up with timelines and connecting with one another. Can’t believe it’s time, but here we go!

Nice! I hope the rest of us hear back soon.

I came across this group me that has a lot of insight on schools and interviews last year if anyone is interested. Plus I figured it would also be an easier method to stay up to date with each others’ interviews / acceptance, etc.

Hi all! Congrats to everyone who got interviews:) I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight as for what to expect regarding the interview process? Mosty clinical or personal questions? Are they welcoming or intimidating? Really anything would help! Thank you and good luck to all:)

Does anyone know LSU's attrition rate? I read online it was about 24% but I don't know if the website was credible. Are they somewhat of a weed-out program?

I know there are interviews on October 15th and 16th for sure. Maybe those are the last dates?

They ABSOLUTELY are a weed out program. Just like their nursing school. I went to LSU for nursing school and have had a bunch of friends go through the CRNA program along with having multiple in it right now. The first semester's for summer and fall arent bad. You can even work the first till the spring . Its mainly writing a bunch of research papers. Once we hit Dec/Jan for Spring semester buckle up. That's when we take med phys (with the lsu med students) which everyone I've talked to said is the worst/hardest class in arguably the worst/ hardest semester of all LSU CRNA. The class 2 yrs ahead of us I have a best friend in she said they lost 5 alone just to that class.

I didn’t know “weed-out” programs existed!!

They list the attrition rate on the website under program statistics. The 2019 graduating class admitted 45 and graduated 41 so 4 out of 45 either withdrew or were dismissed. That's roughly an 8% attrition rate.

I got a call today with an offer from LSU. They said they’d be calling applicants throughout the month
