Connecticut CRNA friendly?

[zozzy777]

Hi all. I am currently an SRNA and have about a year and a half left in school and would like to move to Connecticut when I am done. I lived in Connecticut for about 3 years but was a staff nurse there, and didn't have much exposure to the CRNA world at that time. I know there are 3 anesthesia schools there, but was wondering if they are generally a CRNA friendly state? If you are working there, what hospitals use CRNA's and how much supervision by MDA's do you have? Any recommendations on where to work would be great. Thanks ahead of time for any input!!:nuke:

I don' know about northern Ct. but Danbury and Norwalk use a lot of CRNA's. You can expect not to do regionals and you will never work alone without MDA. I don't know the situation in Bridgeport but I think Ct. is not CRNA unfriendly - unless you expect to work with MD "supervision."

I interviewed at the Bridgeport CRNA program. They use CRNAs, and do not have a medical residency program. I met two anesthesiologists, one CRNA, and the program director. I was under the impression that much of CT is CRNA friendly. In Bridgeport specifically you would perform all aspects of anesthesia including regionals. They were a great group of people to meet.
