I don't need to be grammatically correct to get my point across on social media. It's called being tired and autocorrect. Obviously you have no idea. I'm no expert; I have been doing this for ten years so I know a thing or two

In order to be good at intubations it takes successfully intimating 100's of patients. I you look at an anesthesiologist clinical experience and a CRNA it doesn't compare. Looks at there numbers like spinals, epidurals, tubes and A lines. They get tons of it.

180,000 is great especially if it's not 1099; it's almost 200,000!!

GI suite is cool gig. If you could work per diem and make 120-130hr in addition to working 3x12's in the hospital you'd make really good money. I'm curious which state are you in?

You limit yourself tremendously. Most GI places won't hire you unless you have 1-2 years experience. Coming right out of school, most new CRNAs lack the skills necessary to work in a GI suite without an anesthesiologist. Think about it. If you have to intubate someone will you feel comfortable right out of school??

I have never worked strictly for a GI Center, but I have done a ton of GI cases on ASA 3's and 4's at the hospital I presently work. We do a lot of therapeutics ,e.g., ERCPS, EUS, Push Enteroscopies , Dilations under fluoroscopy,etc. I WOULD RECOMMEND working somewhere doing a lot of sedation cases. You want to feel Very comfortable managing airways. You also need the laryngoscopy experience in case of an emergency. Hope that helps

Thanks for the feedback. What are some of the best places to live? I'm looking for a great suburb with great schools and at least 0.5 acres. I hear the Louisville, Parker and Superior are nice places. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I will inquire about that. I was hoping the Job market was good for CRNAS in the Colorado. There's a lot of Locum position

I'm greatful for the feedback. I have never heard of that especially in the east coast, non compete.

What do you know about NCAP?

Thanks for the input. It was very helpful. There's a lot of Locum positions available both for per diem and full time. Forgive my ignorance, what is a non-compete? Do you live in CO?

I'm a CRNA and planning to relocate to CO. Does anyone know what the job market is like for CRNAs? Which part of Colorado is the best place to live? Is there a lot of competition from AAs? I'm planing to visit in the next few weeks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

That's reassuring. hopefully it will turn around. I have a two year timetable

Thank you kindly. Your reply was very informative. I think it is a great state. I have to work on relocating there.
