Contracted Grp vs Hospital employee

interesting stuff

Well currently im on a condition acceptance track. The offer (i believe) is avalaible to a # of people per year by the institution (i have no idea how many). In anycase, from my current standpoint it seems great, but i wonder if i would think that way in my last 6 months when i am more educated about offers and oppertunities?

Are there other disadvantages or advantages of working with a group as opposed to a hospital?

Ill try to answer your questions.

Is this 50% of any school or a specific school.

This is 50% of a specific school. Ive already decided where i want to go so im not applying anywhere else. Thats the deal they are offering.

If I were you, I would focus on getting into school rather than looking for a contract.

Well thats essentially taken care of. What im looking to learn about is/are the benefits of working for a group vs hospital. I have the option to pay it all myself without a hospital payback contract if i want or i could take the deal and have a 2 yr committment at a huge institution which is very pro CRNA (i believe its an ACT environenment). I will have to make a decision soon if i want the hospital contract or pay myself.

I'd have to say, it seems like you are in the worst possible bargining position and the hospital is in the best possible bargining position.

Absolutely. A school always is in the power position when your a student applicant. Unless you have something to offer that other students typically dont which may bring the program some recognition, there is no way to stand out.


Essentially, what im looking for is good experience. Not money. I am more than willing to make low end CRNA pay if i can work somewhere that i can more experience with more complex cases. Im an A type guy, i want to challenge myself and get out of my comfort zone. Adds like "bread and butter cases" arent what im looking for in a future job. Good some some, just not me.
