Interesting, I've heard it's generally the opposite, where pay and hours are terrible if you're employed directly by a hospital. Traveling nurses are supposed to get much better pay and hours. Don't have direct experience with that though. Maybe it's because you've specialized as a nurse anesthetist?
Definitely. Nurse anesthetists are rarely employed by the hospital. We almost always work for an anesthesia group as a W2 or 1099. Pay can be better for some traveling gigs though. It's a little different than RN contracts and pay though.
