CRNAs in Colorado

Robin'

Don't know a whole lot about the market there. I did shadow though in Denver before starting school. From talking to my CRNA that I shadowed and a couple that actually gave me anesthesia- the market is pretty saturated but there are still jobs. I worked at Denver Health (the county hospital) and the CRNA's loved it there. That hospital is in downtown Denver. I also know a girl who moved up to Breck and works at a Surgicenter- she loves living in the mountains. Unfortunatley (in my opinion anyway) Denver has a lot of Health One hospitals and I have heard that the group pays very well but the conditions, hours, benefits aren't so great (that is just what I have heard- no experience with it). Another CRNA that did my teeth, said there is plenty of locums and independent work and you can make as much as you want and work as much as you want.
Denver is definitely the place where everything happens in CO and it is a GREAT city. I loved it. CO Springs is also a very nice city as well.
There is also a newer hospital in Loveland (45 mins) north of Denver that is close to Ft. Collins which a lot of people like that city as well and Loveland is very cute town about 20 mins away from Estes/ Rocky Mtn National Park.
Good luck

i worked at Avista Adventist Hospital in Louisville (between Denver and Boulder). Nice community hospital - very small and no trauma. Might be best to work in a bigger place after school but will say the CRNAs had a lot of autonomy. Hardly ever saw the MDAs. CRNAs did all of the epidurals. Not sure if they are in a group but it'd be a good place to go after you get some experience.
