  1. Advice From Independent Contractors?

    u-r-sleeepy replied to gugal's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hello, I would advise you to incorporate - most likely as an S-Corp for your outside work. I would also advise you to find a good (read: SHREWD!) CPA for your tax related needs. You could learn it...

  2. How do you pay for school?

    u-r-sleeepy replied to richard13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    One more thought - I would like to voice this opinion based on my own experience while in school. If your school is anything at all like mine was, I would like to DISCOURAGE YOU IN THE STRONGEST...

  3. How do you pay for school?

    u-r-sleeepy replied to richard13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    One idea you might like to consider is contributing to an IRA with "pre-tax dollars" with the plan that you can take distributions later on for school costs - without that pesky 10% penalty! How to...

  4. Boards Today

    u-r-sleeepy replied to WntrMute2's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Spouse posting here - hope that's OK? My spouse's experience was just like Kevin's to a "T"! The test shut down after 90 questions. Some questions were truly a "mystery" and were very...

  5. CRNA's in the U.K!

    u-r-sleeepy replied to jjjez's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I came across this sometime back in an article somewhere or perhaps a discussion on "another" forum (which shall remain unmentioned...!) - the main jist as I recall, is that IF they pursue it at all,...

  6. AA vs. CRNA - Let's Discuss.

    u-r-sleeepy replied to warzone's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Let's discuss: I believe the A$A has figured out another method for increasing their CONTROL of the practice of anesthesia and how to increase their $$$ at the same time! Woohoo!! "I'm SHOCKED I...

  7. BSN or Bachelors in Biology???

    u-r-sleeepy replied to iliket3's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Teresa, I agree with everything loisane wrote. I did the same thing and would encourage you to pursue the Biology degree after reading your comments/questions. If you're "young enough" - why don't...

  9. MONEY FOR SCHOOL: Anesthesia Group or Hospital Sponsorship

    u-r-sleeepy replied to wannabe gasser's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My take: I don't think you're getting too great an offer. I was offered all school costs (about $30-35k) plus $1k/month for the 27 months of our program. They wanted 3 years commitment from me and...

  11. Overwhelmed SRNAs

    u-r-sleeepy replied to loisane's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Loislane & Qwiigley & others have nailed it pretty well. It is very challenging to maintain your focus & do well throughout the program. I am not far from the "finish line" now and it...

  13. PA's doing Anesthesia??

    u-r-sleeepy replied to smogmatt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Checking back in here... ;-) I would like to politely disagree that it is NOT about the $$$ and control. You might have been told that and are currently pursuaded to believe it, but look at the...

  14. PA's doing Anesthesia??

    u-r-sleeepy replied to smogmatt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    PS - for a futher glimpse into the view and attitudes of MDs and their VALUE$: Take a peek at this article --> http://www.ama-assn.org/sci-pubs/amnews/pick_00/prsb0103.htm Now... who's feeling...

  15. PA's doing Anesthesia??

    u-r-sleeepy replied to smogmatt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Thanks ITSJUSTMEZOE - your response is a good start. In my humble opinion... this is more an issue of monopoly and control of the practice of anesthesia and the $$$$$. I wonder how MDAs would...

  16. PA's doing Anesthesia??

    u-r-sleeepy replied to smogmatt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This is probably more than you want to know... but it does shed some light on the subject and what's currently going on. Plus, many CRNAs and SRNAs (like myself) have decided to absolutely BOYCOTT...

  17. Thru program w/ children

    u-r-sleeepy replied to Rhon1991's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'll way in here - I think Rhonda asks a valid question. I believe Qwiigley and Espresso girl!'s viewpoints are also valid. I think many of you are OVER reacting to the basic question. Are the...

  18. employment during anesthesia school?

    u-r-sleeepy replied to Jaybird's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I couldn't disagree more heartily MK2002 - try going here --> http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040.pdf except... that the IRS hasn't updated the form (instructions for 2001 year filing 1040) to...

  19. employment during anesthesia school?

    u-r-sleeepy replied to Jaybird's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Re: "Regretfully...." Try again Dragon-Breath - ;-) The IRS has changed the tax law regarding deducting student loan interest. You can bring yourself up to speed by going here -->...

  20. employment during anesthesia school?

    u-r-sleeepy replied to Jaybird's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    A heavy round of applause is heard for CRNA wife...! Congrats on doing things the way you are - especially with regard to the kids. We are doing a similar thing except... that we are accumulating a...

  21. Is CRNA compatible with having a family?

    u-r-sleeepy replied to dianacs's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would concur with all of the previous statements. There is no way that anyone of us can know what YOU are able to handle as a student/wife/mother. I can think of few opportunities so rich with...
