The New Orleans area is, in fact, saturated with CRNAs due to the fact that LSU and OLOL are intimate geographical neighbors. Current anesthesia students and incoming anesthesia students should plan on relocating after graduation. There is some good news and that is that plans to rebuild Charity Hospital and a VA Med Center are moving forward. However, the new facilities are not expected to open until early 2012 which likely means late 2013.
As far as Locum Tenems positions, do you really want to jeopardize your new license as soon as you get it? How about malpractice on top of your student loan debts? I would want experience before I'd be willing to take on an agency job.
