You do realize that they mean 24/7 coverage for the 26 weeks you are working, right? Takes just the right sort of person to be a good fit in a place like that.

I noted that the listing indicated that the person in the position will be issued a 1099 at the end of the year, not a W-2. To me, this means you're responsible for paying your own social security & other taxes, possibly at a higher rate (if you're "self-employed" the facility is not contributing the employer portion of the social security taxes). Also, the facility is not paying the malpractice insurance premium for this position. I don't know what malpractice runs for CRNAs, but I'm just saying that although the listed prospective compensation is attractive, both of these details may significantly affect the bottom line for the person in this job.

That is accurate. Prob no benefits, taxes or anything paid. Malpractice runs 30-50k with no events in your history. There are way better paying gigs than this set up simarly. In TX similar positions pay 200-260k. Check gas work.

Not so.

Guess it also depends on location and the type of policy you have. I just know a few and theirs was around 30k a year.

Perhaps you are confusing CRNAs with MDAs in your speculations here.

Certain MDAs do pay those rates, those whose policy also covers other practitioners under them.

In forty years I have never paid more than 10 k, and that was long ago before premiums took a dive.

I GUARANTEE no CRNA would stay in business if they had to pay anything close to 30 k. Sorry, that's ridiculous.

Well, the way I read it this is a 2 person shop. So to get 26 weeks off, you would be working 7/24 the other 26 weeks.

The key is, as others emphasized, this is a 1099 position. You are contracting your services to the hospital. You are not their employee.

Nitecap:

deepz is right. The rates you are quoting are extremely high. if you search tha AANA website you can find the average cost for CRNA insurance in each state. From what I remember the higher end states were in the range of $5000.
