I come back to you now in desperation, dissatisfaction and a huge ulcer in my stomach.
Ill try to make a long story short. basically I took a job at the hospital I did my residency at. its a medical residency department that has a contract with the hospital. a "health science center". all the CRNA's have the same deal. 168 k w2 the kicker is there was no contract which at the time I was told and felt like was good and bad. we got sign on bonuses without having a minmum time contract if you follow. we did expect to work SOME call and were promised 85$/hour for every hour over 45 in a week. So. all we have in writting is this 168k for 45 hour week period.
well myself and other new grad class mates recurited our personal friends and within 6 months have taken a department with two crna's to 16 CRNA's.
After all have moved and settled in. the department has started to tighten the screws on us each week we are confronted with a new requirement for example our scheduling changed so we have less controle over it, the demand of having two CRNA's in house every saturday, yesterday they had a meeting to tell us we would now have to cover all the holidays despite the fact that this department has 12 medical residents and 15 RRNA's
the dep. chair says that the dep is not profitable and these demands come by way of the hospital. I don't know if I belive all that.
anyway it is very depressing that here 16 CRNA's just moved their families, bought houses ect. the game is being changed. YOGA I wish you were here.
I wish we could all just quit and leave them in the the lurch, what to do, what to do, oh what a world, what a world.
any ideas alansmith52
PM me and ill tell you a great place to avoid working
That is why I quit CRNA school , I felt like I was selling my soul to the devil. It sounds to me like you crawled in the bed with him.. Good luck and maybe pray..God might get you out of this one.
Oh please, let's be honest here--what is the real reason you quit CRNA school? There is nothing wrong with discovering that anesthesia is not the profession for you and I respect anyone who gets out when they realize that, but to state that you quit because of employment issues when there are so many options out there is disingenuous.
Your thinking of nepitism where its relatives hiring kids.
A fellow employee recruiting friends is exactly what employers want. Brings in people who have a reference from an established employee.
In fact hospitals not only encourage you to do it, they reward you for it. Its called a recruitment bonus. Employees who refer friends for RN jobs (or any other in shortage) make between 1000$ and 3000$ dollars at my local hospital depending on the new hire committment.
Recruiting personal friends is unfair and biased. No wonder they're cutting back on you guys.
