Hello all, I am looking for more information on the CRNA field. If you could, can people describe where they work, hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, hours worked per week, call taken, work with or without MD supervision, as part of CRNA/MD group, or an employee of a hospital. Are you happy with your current job or are looking for something new? Thanks in advance.

Congrats Uplifting on passing and the job offer. Can you describe the schedule offered. With 11 or 12 hour shifts, is it 3 shifts per week or 13 a month like others I have heard about? Or is it 4 per week with the 11 hr shifts with one hour being a break? Thanks and congrats again.

Does anyone have information on the WMC? Starting salaries, working conditions, and any other information would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am really interested in OR nursing, but with a 5 day per week schedule are people able to do overtime or per diem or does taking call fill in for that? I am also wondering how often are people taking call and of those days, how often are you actually called in? Thanks in advance.

Anyone have per diem rates for hospitals in Brooklyn or Manhattan?

On a salary of 73k per year, federal taxes (according to the 2007 numbers) as head of household is $13,431. Add to that social security and medicare of 7.35%=$5365. Added to that is state income tax of: $4430. Add to that a city income tax of: $2520. Total taxes on 73k would be: $25745 which is roughly 35%. This assumes filing as head of household. Got to love taxes. Also, want and need are very different thing. The original poster mentioned something about a mini-office, and wanting a car. Are these actual needs or wants. Making this difference is essential when living on a budget. Also, try different neighborhoods, rents in Brooklyn vary is huge amounts, even in nice neighborhoods.

Looking for any information on current or past rates for housing subsidies in NYC. Are rates different for each borough and do some companies give larger subsidies than others. Thanks. Edit: Ok, seems no NYC travelers receiving subsidies around on the board. How about travelers in other large cities: Boston, LA, SF, Miami, Chicago.

I am starting the CNA course at the Manhattan Institute starting Nov 5th, costs around $800, Sats and Suns 9-4:30 or so. Good luck with your search, just to let you know the Allen School is up to $1400 for the course, but they do have alot of schedule to choose from, such as mornings, evenings, Saturdays, as well as all day classes.

Hello all, I am a nursing student at LIU, just started the prereqs this semester, working on a second degree, and am going to attend CNA school over the weekends. I was wondering what the average salary for a CNA in NYC is? Any differances in a Hospital based position versus a Nursing Home position. Thanks in advance for your response, Bill
