"If anyone is looking for a scheduling tool, this is it. We adopted it company wide in January and love the product. It is easy to use and very user friendly. I now have visibility into every facility schedule and where every CRNA is in our system with one or two simple clicks and most importantly, I can see the open shift needs that we have and run reports on locum agency use etc. Very nice product for large or small groups!"

"This course is for any current 1099 CRNA or those considering transitioning into 1099. It is so valuable. You will feel more confident stepping into a new path or moving forward in your current path."

"I have been a W2 employee for 8 years and am finally making the leap to be a 1099 CRNA. This course was extremely thorough and beneficial to educate me on everything I need to be a successful 1099 CRNA. I am more prepared and learned things I never considered before."

"I have several years of experience as an independent contractor and needed a comprehensive, business and finance resource for 1099 work to assure I take full advantage of the opportunity. There is a lot of information that conflicts with other sources and I found it difficult to piece it all together on my own. The 1099 CRNA Institute course brings all the pieces together in an easy to access format and is presented by experts in their respective fields. I strongly recommend this course to all CRNAs!"

"This course is the perfect primer for someone considering the switch from W-2 to 1099 CRNA. The program provides a general overview to understand the big picture, but also hits on specifics that illustrate the distinct advantages and risks, and covers bookkeeping best practices to make the S corporation work for you."

"This was the best money I could have spent to learn about being 1099. It was organized and comprehensive. I highly recommend this to all CRNAs, not just those pursuing 1099 status."

When you are ready to retire from full-time W2 work but not ready to stop being a CRNA, this course prepares you for the transition. The fear of the unknown is strong, but knowledge gives you power to move to the next season of your life.

I highly recommend it to all CRNAs/nurse anesthesiologists!
