  1. Cardiac Cath Lab advice needed

    I have interviewed at 2 different CCL and I like both for different reasons. One lab (call it LAB1) will allow me to work 4 days/10 hr days and has little on call requirement (10 days per month) while their volume during the weekdays is 3 times the o...

  4. Manager or CRNA?

    The highest level of addiction and substance abuse is between CRNAs and Anesthesia providers not because it is easy for them to get drugs; remember all other docs/ NP can get their hands on heavy substances but the main reason that CRNAs and Anesthes...

  9. How to climb up the ladder

    Hello all, I have the upmost respect for you and would value your input. I recently changed paths. I was in CRNA school but decided it wasn't worth it for me. So now, I feel like the world is wide open for me and I can do anything. I always have felt...
  10. Manager or CRNA?

    Many think about the money only. They forget about the legal liability that CRNAs have to deal with. I was in CRNA school and didn't continue. It ages you and kills you in so many ways. CRNA school would be fine if it was done 25 yrs ago through appr...
