  1. Anesthesia Provider Pay to Drop 60%

    Jdog19s replied to Screen name's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    However I do not think it makes sense to run an independent practice in states that have not opted out as the majority of people you will see will have medicare and you will not be reimbursed,...

  2. Trends in CRNA Compensations in Future

    Jdog19s replied to Manurse715's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I sure hope so, in theory it makes sense...but the AMA and ASA are a strong group- so I don't think its clear whats going to happen at this point- stay

  3. CRNA Part Time Opportunities

    Jdog19s replied to Southbound's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    As far as my school is concerned they are trying to find younger students with a few years of solid experience for the program. They believe that many providers will be retiring in the next decade...

    Jdog19s replied to Screen name's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Or a CRNA could head for an opt out state with no supervision and be free from slavery and do just as you suggest paindoc. Eventually it will come down to how much money is spent on ACT practices to...

    Jdog19s replied to RN789's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There are 23 in my class, although we will have 2 joining us from the class ahead of us that took a year off and are starting up again (thus, 25 soon). I'd say that the experience runs from 2 years...

  9. Any advice for a prospective SRNA?

    Jdog19s replied to MB37's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I actually think that overtime isnt a bad idea, not for the money, but just for the experience. The more time in the hospital, the more you will learn before starting anesthesia school. I'm in a...

    Hi, I am a first year student at Northeastern so this is what I can tell you. The interview is a get to know you personally session as well as some pimping as to what you know at this point in your...

  13. One year CRNA program?

    Jdog19s replied to MsHazel's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    On another note, to make it easier on yourself, you can take up to 12 credits before you get accepted into the program. That will make the course load easier to handle, but you still have to start...

  14. My Fear of needlesticks

    Jdog19s replied to mrsharris81's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say that likely the only time you may stick yourself with a dirty needle would be after unsuccessful IV placements and those are hard enough to place with hospital gloves on. You would lose...

    Jdog19s replied to atp23's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Some programs do not mind there students working during the first year when it is all didactic work, but when clinicals begin for the next 2 years, it is a full time job. I have heard of some people...

  18. Does it matter if I have an AA, BS, etc to get accepted into CRNA schools?

    Jdog19s replied to autumn_sky's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Since no one commented I believe on the AA part of your question, you could do that and get there much faster, as long as you don't mind that currently they always have to work under medical...

  19. Getting into critical care

    Jdog19s replied to aCRNAhopeful's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yikes. I believe that a timeline should be person specific. Some people are ready to go straight into an ICU setting and do great and some people need more time on a step down unit. If you are sure...

  20. CRNA Salaries. Have They Gone Down?

    Jdog19s replied to Celicastrtrcr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Some CRNA's are only making 110,000 dollars, so it really depends on where you are working and what the cost of living is going to be that should make up your mind. The benefits in nurse anesthesia...

  21. Less competative admissions

    Jdog19s replied to TxNurseRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Jdog19s replied to amiro31's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    it depends on the program. Most east coast schools will run you anywhere from 70,000 to over 100,000 for the whole program. I've heard rumor that the schools out west are much more affordable at under...
