One of my friends interviewed at OHSU last year, they said the interview was short and to the point. They ask about you, why you want to go there, and they also gave him a clinical scenario and asked what he would do. I would definitely know my pressors and be able to speak to how you would use them given a sick pt. Good luck!

Thanks MurseMan89. I did further research online and you are right. It seemed to be my suspicion before but I wasn't sure. In interviews both schools sell themselves like they are good programs. Byran's students though really had a confidence about getting solid clinical experience and I was wondering about the attrition rate at LSU, now reading forums I know why. Thanks again.

Neither are close to my family. Bryan's interview seemed way more organized. It was 4 hours long compared to 1 hour, you met all the staff and really got a sense of their program. It was hard for me to judge how many bigger cases you might get at LSU vs Bryan. LSU has a significant attrition rate as well which is concerning. I'm also trying to consider the job market afterward. I'm leaning more towards Bryan at this point.

I got into both LSU and Bryan College in Lincoln Nebraska and am trying to figure out which to choose. Both sounded like they had great clinical experience: over 1000 cases, wide variety of cases, experience with all CRNA groups. LSU is more costly for out of state tuition ($15,000 more), both are doctorate programs. LSU sounded like you might get more chances to do bigger cases. Bryan didn't have as many central line placements but did have smaller class size and much more peripheral blocks. Any opinions out there which you would choose?

Got a call last week I got in!!
