Raleigh is toxic

Are you referring to the city in general?

GO COCKS! I used to live in Asheville, and being a WW Kayaker married to a beach-gal, I would love to one day return to Asheville or the OBx. As an RT at Mission back in 03-05, I went through the OR to get my required 10 facility intubations during my orientation there; I remember thinking that compared to other ORs I'd been in, that place was full of very tense and unhappy CRNAs. Now that I'm a CRNA, just reading the job postings from Asheville and the surrounding areas, it is obvious that unless you really, really loooovvvvve Asheville or own a home there that you can not get out of, that is not a CRNA friendly place to go. Read between the lines and you'll plainly see..."for a whopping 120...maybe 150K if you are very experienced and work a pile of OT, you can come here, work multiple shifts at multiple facilities of our choosing, all while being micromanaged and treated like a subbordinate by we Godly Anesthesiologists. But hey, you will get 4 weeks of vacation and a week of CME leave...no, no CME money!...to recharge your batteries and rest your aching bunghole! Act fast, because there are obviously too many desperate CRNAs being churned out and Asheville is cool, so these opportunities won't last long. Sincerely, the great and mighty monopolists of Asheville Anesthesia Associates." It really sucks, because it is a wonderful place to live. As far as Raliegh...good grief! I remember looking at jobs around there in the months prior to graduating, and after about two weeks, I quickly skipped past any job posting that stated "raliegh" or "research triangle," as there was never anything posted that was any better than any other job posting in any other state.

Good to know and go cocks!
