Has anyone heard anything about OLOL and LSU New Orleans CRNA programs? Which one is better? Chances of getting in?

LSU New Orleans is better and harder to get into.

Does it really matter as a CRNA? Not like going to a business school, imo.

I want to make sure when I finish a program, I am equipped and prepared for the job as much as I can possibly be.

You will be no matter what school you go to. It's all about doing case after case after case. That said, I didn't realize how much of a bidness grad school was until I attended. Not so much about education as it is students, tuition and "multicultural" grants.

OLOL is a shorter program than LSU. Just about all of the CRNAs I work with went to LSU. None went to OLOL. Regardless of school, the case load will help you be a better CRNA. And you'll make a shite ton of money!

Didn't OLOL just start their CNRA program within the last few years?

TCU has an excellent program if you are open to going out of state for didactics. They have clinical sites in LA

Because they encourage you NOT to work while you are in CRNA school, I will 9 times out of 10 still be living with my parents...so I don't think I could move to Texas lol

Yes, I've heard OLOL is very costly. CONGRATS on graduating and good luck on the NCLEX! How did you like the program,?

Did you save no money while working in trauma unit as RN for necessary experience prior to applying for school?
