Houston, Tx CRNA's

I know GHA, but don't know the full answer to your question. Likely the answer is that you get to do a lot of largER stuff, but cardiac and neuro...I don't know. I am an RN. I know that at the ortho hospital that used GHA, the CRNA's did all the surgeries (except for babies and small children-who always had docs). We did lots of spines, Total hips and knees, etc. I hope this helps.

GHA is a large group. Better pay and benefits at non GHA facilties. Their pay maxes out pretty low as well. I know CRNAs who do hearts. Just depends on where you work. But there are many places in Houston where you will do big cases. You can do as big or little as you want depending on where you decide to work. Look at some of the state facilities like LBJ and MD Anderson--excelllent benefits and pay. Go on gaswork.com to check out jobs

I dont know Austin, although I have a couple of friends there that work for Capital Anesthesia group and seem happy. The climate in Houston is good, just depends what facility/group you work for. Lots of places have CRNAs that do regionals, lines, pedi, ect... And others dont. When you interview those are the questions you need to ask. I can tell you if you work for GHA they do not let their CRNAs do any lines or regionals. So if that is important to you then you may want to apply elsewhere. They do have the CRNAs do pedi and big cases though with alot of autonomy. So..it just depends on whats important to you. But, I think overall Houston is very CRNA friendly, but thats my opinion working in Houston for the past 2 years.
