Interview at case western

r2410s · Nov 10, 2010

I am very interested in applying to case next year. I have researched deeply into the stipend provided for a 2 year contract after graduation. Do you know how much the Cleveland Clinic starts their CRNA's at for the 2 years? That is the only information I am not able to obtain. I would just like to have all of my information straight before I invest so much money into another degree. I would post this on the forum, but a bunch of people will get on their soap box and give me their two cents about money, which I'm not looking for. Hope you can help, Thanks.

Hey,

I just had my interview today....it was very laid back...now I must wait..good luck to everyone. also r2410s it seems that you are offered what ever the starting salary is at the time of graduation at cleveland clinic. From what I understand it does appear you take a paycut just because you received the stipend.

Congrats teetyme on being done with your interview! One part of this stressful process is over you. I will interview in December. I hope you hear some good news soon.

R2410s....... you do not have to choose the clinic as your site for clinicals. You can also go to University Hospital or Summa. Those two choices do not have the stipend and you will therefore not be required to work there. That may be a good option for you. Why are you waiting until next year to apply? You still have time this year to get your stuff in so maybe you should go for it! As far as the salary of new grads at the clinic, I have heard that it's 120-130k. However, I have no idea if thats from a reliable source or not. Those numbers could be completely wrong.....sorry I can't help you with that one!

sorry I wanted to say you do not take a paycut for receiving the stipend...you start at whatever the starting salary for a new grad is at that time
