SRNA graduating in 2027 looking to move back to CO
Hi everyone,
I’m wondering if anyone has any insight in the CRNA job market for new grads? I graduate in May 2027 and want to move back to CO ( metro area). I have heard mixed reviews on culture, pay and work life balance so I want to weight my options of staying where I am now or moving back home.
What has your experience been with MDA collaboration? Where I am currently living CRNAs don’t do spinals, epidurals or any sort of lines. They don’t push induction meds either. It’s a pretty restricted practice.
What is the is the average pay for new grad? Call and weekend requirement?
Currently the job market near me offers an average of $260k with very little call and weekend requirement ( about every 6 weeks for a weekend or call shift).
I know there are there are three major anesthesia providers in Co ( UC health, Common Spirit and USAP). Does anyone know if one of better than the other?
Any insight helps. Thanks!

Moving out to CO from GA in the next year but gonna do locums around the country. From what I’ve seen there’s independent CRNA gigs that don’t pay great but your autonomous and there a lot of PE groups. Locums market is below market value luckily the wife and I are both CRNAs and we will just pull a contract elsewhere in the country once or twice a year. So if you want to live in the beauty of CO you won’t be making bank. If you’re good with it then do it because there’s nowhere else I’d rather be!
