We had so much fun in Pennsylvania! I am going to be honest, I was a little nervous about going. I know it is a long shot for him to get in this first round and for us to actually think about having to live there, but I am just a southern girl! I love everything about the south and couldn't even imagine living in the northeast, especially 19 hours from home. But actually starting to travel makes this process so real and we have to start thinking about our options!
I kept telling myself to have an open mind and just enjoy our time there.
Well it was like I had a peace come over me when we got there. I actually really liked it, and of course Mitch did. I think he is going to apply for some more schools up in that area.
First off it is beautiful up there and Pittsburgh was such a cool place. A lot different than I thought. I was picturing very industrial, like Detroit. But it's not at all.
The school is in a small town outside of Pittsburgh and its only about 30 miles from Pittsburgh, and on the turnpike it takes about 20 min! We didn't know the area well, so we decided to stay in a town in between Latrobe and Pittsburgh called Monroeville. We were expecting it to be this tiny town and it was actually really big and so nice!!! It had everything there and you are still close to a fun big city!
If we did end up going there, we would most likely live there. Mitch will only do about one semester actually in latrobe at the school, then the rest is lots of different clinical site all over PA, Ohio and West Virginia. He would only be at the school one time a week.
Mitch had his interview Friday and it went so well. Mitch is a people person and does not have any issues going through the interview process. The competition is just so intense getting into crna school. They told him in the interview that 500 applied, 200 got interviews and 30 will get in. And that is a lot for a crna program. On average schools take around 5-10 students. So we are just praying and we know that God will place us where He wants us. He has so many other school option, and it makes me excited to visit the others!
That about sums up his interview process and how we spent friday! I will do another post about our time in PA and what we did the other days we were there (and post pics)!
Be praying for us as we begin this long process of school searching!
