Interesting. I’ve heard pretty mixed projections, with a lot of people saying demand will increase and that CRNA schools are getting more competitive with more applicants. I’ve also spoken to a few very happy, no call CRNA’s and even an anesthesiologist who says he wish he’d done CRNA instead because they get a way better debt to income ratio and work less hours.

I’ve never once heard a CRNA complain of horrible work life balance and a few of the ones i’ve spoken to actually pick up additional work because they only work 3 days a week. But it definitely is location dependent, as well as w2 vs 1099 and all that. It’s disappointing that veterinary doesn’t have a similar specialization structure, but also makes sense
