All the unions, and CNA did nothing to stop this. All they want is the $$$.

In 2003 the CEO of a hospital in California, refused to stop physical abuse against nurses, stating - "the doctors bring the money to this hospital, the nurses don't."

We moved out of state, and to a better world. There are CRNA's, and NP's in every hosptial out here. I would never live in California again-

Sue; You sound very bitter. I have been a nurse here in California for 10 years. I have been respected and never abused. I AM now a CRNA in So Cal. I love my job and am very happy here. Please don't spread false rumors about our fair state. Yes, jobs are scarce. The economy is bad and it is the VERY BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD TO LIVE. Therefore, there are a TON of MDAs living here. Competition. All in all, I work 40-70 hrs PER WEEK! Not bad, eh?

That is incorrect. Kaiser is so CRNA friendly that they are the biggest sponsor of Cal State Fullerton's CRNA program. They provide all their sites (including Hawaii), all of the office space and PAY for the salaries of their instructors.
You do not know what you are talking about.
Kaiser is not hiring in California because we have a state wide hiring freeze. They are trying not to have to lay anyone off. Sadly to say, Northern Cali has begun lay offs and So Cal is working on attrition. Goal of 1,000 employees across the board in So Cal.

UCLA has CRNAs, but their new grads that they hired this year just got down graded to ICU nurses with the promise of re-hiring them as CRNAs when the economy is better. Cedars does not have CRNAs at this time. CHLA now uses CRNAs but only in the Surgery Center. They have a lot of residents, and they get the good cases. But nice place to work. Very respectful of everyone.

Tuition reimbursement; Navy Reserve. $30,000 last time I checked, but remember, we are at war.

Re: California CRNA Programs

I was just reading this post, and found it interesting to see different perspectives... I am thinking of going to CRNA school and live in San Diego... which is the closest one to me? UCLA, USC? Will the job market for CRNA's improve or decline in the next 5 years? I've lived in different states before, but California is home... this is where I want to practice. Any advice to a new nurse looking into applying into CRNA school in the future? Thanks in advance!!!
