My aunt is a CRNA for a gastro outpatient. She worked at a local collegiate hospital in the neurosurgical department and thank God she knew just who to call when we found out I needed a partial frontal lobectomy for meningioma! Networking at research hospitals is a definite plus.
You are awesome! I have been following you for years and I can finally say that I am on my CRNA journey (I started school in June). Thank you for all the great content!!
I'm starting to apply to schools and I'm seeing a wide range of tuition costs. Some schools charge upwards of $180,000 yet others seem to have a price tag for total tuition in the ballpark of $60,000 to $70,000 and then anywhere in between. Is cost being TOO low a red flag? I.e. not a good product and cheaper for a reason? Other metrics seem to paint these schools in a competitive light compared to their pricier alternatives, so I was wondering if you had a stance on how low might be suspiciously low.
Very wise of you to question very low tuition. I would investigate why tuition was much lower than normal. Big name universities like Duke and Emory charge very high rates because of their name and not really much else. I recommend finding a middle ground school with reasonable tuition that meets all the standards you're looking for. I highly recommend speaking to students in that program before settling on any one school.
I also look at the schools stats that have the lower tuition costs-their acceptance rate, attrition rate (I think this rate can imply how difficult a program is but also a supportive it is for students [they won’t accept a student they don’t believe can pass the program anyway]), and first time pass rate (this is more significant than the total pass rate imo) will tell if it’s a good program. The percent employed after graduation is rarely far from 100% so I don’t really focus on that. The us best news schools rankings is largely related to the amount of research funding money given. Of course those top ranked schools are great , but so are many of the one’s following the top 10, 20. The program curriculum, clinical hours/sites, and the stats are more important than the name when it comes to being proficient by graduation. No employer or coworker will care what school you went to if you can’t practice safely.
Great video man! I would want to work in academic center, I’m gonna be a Honorary Anesthesiologist since it was hard for me to go to college after I graduated high school in 08 to become a Anesthesiologist because of my cerebral palsy
Awesome video! This helped a lot! I want a cushy good lifestyle anesthesia position :) what is your favorite setting to work in? Also do most crnas enjoy doing blocks because I know at academic centers you have to give that up a lot.
I was thinking about working for an outpatient center right away, but with your advice about getting more training before hand I’ll for sure try to work in a big commercial hospital. What type of practice has the most pay, I heard working private was the biggest way to obtain a higher salary.
It's called doing locums contracts as a provider. It can be a little more complicated due to needing medical privileges to practice at each facility you visit. This privileging process can sometimes take months.
Yeah, that is essentially what providers would call “travel nursing”. You agree on a contract that identifies a certain length of time and a salary package. These are usually 1099 private contractor jobs.
Bolt CRNA Right. Your opinion on locum opportunity, though? Like are the positions un/desirable, could you make a career out of just that, are they new grad friendly, are they generally lifestyle collaborative care teams or more autonomous types? If this is better suited for a video sometime, I understand. Thanks, Bolt.
@@BoltCRNA nice! Thank you for the videos! I appreciate the straightforwardness. I don’t have any college graduates or medical field people in my family. Meaning, I don’t have many people that can keep it real. Thanks again.
Hello, I'm thinking of follow the path of crna but I don't see many job opportunities, I least when I look in indeed or another job ralated website, so does the profession has a high job demand? If so, where/how do you apply for a crna position?
@@Maddieebaby focus on being well rounded get good grades take AP classes if you can. Find out what the pre requisites are for your local nursing school and see if you can knock out those pre reqs as AP classes. Get into nursing school and keep your grades up there as well you got this!

Shame how healthcare is difficult to attain
This is awesome. I had no idea!! Thank you!!! Im binge watching your videos 😂 it counts as "studying" for me lol
I had my times where I "studied" on UA-cam.
This was super helpful. Your info is always appreciated. I'd love to also hear about anesthesia groups and what to look for or avoid with contracts.
Great suggestion for a future video!
You are awesome! I have been following you for years and I can finally say that I am on my CRNA journey (I started school in June). Thank you for all the great content!!
That is awesome!
Did you make it? If you don't mind me asking.
Good info Bolt !!
Great topic Dr. Bolt.
I appreciate you Crystal G!
Nice info, thanks

I'm finding that I like the different settings for certain purposes in life. They all have their strengths and weaknesses.
Thanks for the video. Broadens horizons a bit
There's a whole wide world in anesthesia.
Great one!
Thanks buddy.
Thanks man

Private practice does usually offer more pay.
Can you do a video on tips for applying for a job outside of the state you did clinicals in? Thank you!
Great suggestion!
Can you speak on travel nursing anesthesia?!
It's called doing locums contracts as a provider. It can be a little more complicated due to needing medical privileges to practice at each facility you visit. This privileging process can sometimes take months.
I am in my nursing school. Do you think this job would be saturated after 6 years?
Do you have any insight on locum tenens positions?
Yeah, that is essentially what providers would call “travel nursing”. You agree on a contract that identifies a certain length of time and a salary package. These are usually 1099 private contractor jobs.

Can crna work with cricket team or work in other sport
Do you think CRNA need supervision?
CRNAs are independently licensed anesthesia providers.
I’m from bama, going to South Alabama right now. Where did you go?
JSU

@@BoltCRNA did you work while doing your DNP? If so, how much? My only fear is not having an income.

Is nursing school hard? Crna vs anesthesiologist?
Nursing school is hard. CRNA training is many times harder.
@@BoltCRNA Ok. Do you think it’s worth it? I’m currently in highschool so what subjects should i focus on?
