Welcome to the Anesthesia Pro Blog
What this blog is, who it's for, and what to expect. Peer-to-peer content on scope, compensation, wellness, and the business of anesthesia practice — no fluff, no institutional tone.
The anesthesia profession is underserved by the internet. Most of what comes up when you search "CRNA salary" or "locum housing math" is either agency marketing, recruiter SEO spam, or forum threads from 2011.
We built Anesthesia Pro to fix that. This blog is the long-form companion to the tools, guides, and state data on the main site.
What we cover
- Scope and practice authority — legislative developments, the evidence behind CRNA independent practice, and what's actually happening in your state
- Compensation and negotiation — real numbers, real math, and the levers that actually move when you negotiate a contract
- 1099 and business formation — what goes on the S-Corp, what stays on the Schedule C, and the insurance stack that matters
- Credentialing and state licensure — the details that save weeks of lost income
- Wellness and the second-victim experience — frank content that doesn't ignore the part of the job that wears you down
- AA practice and authorization — the credential most resource sites forget exists
Who writes here
Practicing CRNAs and AAs, working directly with the Anesthesia Pro team. We publish under real names where possible, and anonymously when a topic requires it (e.g., peer support, mental health, or active contract negotiations).
What we don't do
- Recruiter-funded content dressed as editorial
- "10 tips from an AI chatbot" filler
- Consensus vagueness. If we have an opinion, we say so and show our work.
- Legal or medical advice. Our content is informational; decisions that matter get a qualified professional review.

If you're new, the 50-State Practice Map, the Credential Vault (Pro+), and the Contract Scorecard are the most used tools. The Wellness hub is the part of the site we're most proud of.
