CRNA at columbia

[tonybologna]

Can anyone tell me the cost of nursing anesthesia at Columbia? Its not reallly clear from their website. I multiplied the # of credits * the hourly rate and got $37000. It was mentioned in a previous thread this is an expensive University, but my numbers don't show that. Drexel, Penn, etc in Philly are $65-$90K for the program.

Second, what is the starting salary for CRNA's in New York City? Is it higher than other states due to the cost of living, or is the fact it is a high salary already compensate for the cost of living? In other words, why work in New York City as a CRNA making $100K a year to start when you can make the same salary in a lower cost city?

Last, how many students do they admit per year? I read that they recruit internally for candidates and then only a few spaces to outside nurses and thus is very competitive.

Thanks for your feedback.
