I was wondering if anyone has received any of the HRSA scholarships or loan repayments for the whole commitment to work for under served hospital after graduating? I don't think I can qualify for the scholarship based on my "estimated family contribu...

i talked to a hrsa rep not to long ago and private loans do qualify as long as it is spent for tuition and anything for cost of living related to a nursing related field aka rn or crna in our cases. this includes rent, food, bills..ect. i am in th...

I was wondering how one sets up a 1099 contract? Most crnas I know are hospital employees but I know there are the 1099 self employed crnas out there. Guess I am wondering if this is something you must negotiate with the facility you're interested in...

Have you worked a 1099 then? If so, did you prefer one to the other?

you already got 10 months in an icu and have level one ER experience...you will be just fine in crna school. Remember, you don't have to be some bad ass icu nurse to do well in crna school...crna school is not nursing anymore...yes, you do need to kn...

yeah, I have been talking to hrsa for the last month...their reps are some confused on their information it's crazy. They told me crna's were eligible for the NHCS scholarship but come to find out crna's are not eligible per their manager. Also, crna...

you are golden, and no worries about if you are needing a booster or not, hell we all need a reminder as to why we do things in this life. As far as your experience, you're a great candidate and I am 99.9 percent sure you will get into a school. I w...

With a 403b and traditional IRA (not roth) you will pay income tax on it even if your income is 0 for the year such as in crna school...you will still have to pay taxes on the money you pull out because that is the same as income and is yet to be ta...

thanks for the incite! It seems to be getting a bit harder for crna's to get loan repayments or scholarships these days!

I will be exiting florida the second i graduate...hopefully find a private practice or something that supports the hrsa loan repayment program and start hacking at the debt. I am really interested in working for myself eventually and figuring out the...

According to mint.com which is my financial adviser at this point, i have approx 136k of debt...my wife's bsn, my finance bs and then my acclerated bsn helped accumulate all that. the college i will be attending in Florida will total approximately 14...

I have considered that as well...you make a strong point and i definitely need to talk to another adviser again to get my ducks more in a row. my wife and i have already racked up 140k with our undergrad loans and some credit cards so another 160k (t...

I talked to a financial advisor about withdrawling money from my roth IRA and my 403B...if used for higher education you can avoid the 10% penalty tax, but there are quite a few loop holes to jump through to get it out...also, i would be taxed around...

A little off topic, but how does one go about getting into private practice? Do you set up contracts with various hospitals and other places one can deliver gas? How do you figure out the billing and such? I am interested in private practice and woul...

Awesome thread, thank you so much for this amazing info: I will be starting at Wolford this October and was wondering where i should live? I have a wife and and my son will be 8 months old. I am guessing it is nice to live in the same complex as oth...

Manusko: Thank you, my thoughts exactly!

I just shadowed a crna yesterday at childrens hospital here in Colorado. They opened a AA school here in Denver at University of Colorado but of course not a crna school. Colorado and Utah are very political from what I hear and MD run. half the h...

Is the pay less cause you got loans taken care of and officer pay during your schooling or cause it's a government gig? I worked at the VA in sicu and micu and can firmly say i will never take a government gig again...took six months to get my paper...
