CRNA job outlook in AZ

[kemo1121]

I've heard that it is really difficult to find a job in Arizona as a CRNA currently. Can anyone attest to that?

It's tough in a lot of places. How close are you to graduating?

[kemo1121]

Not close at all. I just graduated and was fortunate to find a job in an icu at a large hospital. I'm hoping to get the experience I need and start applying to schools. I have a wife and 10

month old daughter. I already know that moving to another state is always a possibility since there is only one school in AZ with a crna program.

Worry about becoming a competent icu nurse and saving some money first I'd say. Get about three years of quality experience and then worry about the job market and applying

Midwestern is super competitive. I think 230 apply for 30 seats. That was about 2 years ago.
