Anesthesiologist Assistant Salary in 2023|Taxes|Sign-on Bonuses|Locum| OT

[@J6Miami]

Current CAA here and this video is on point. Salaries are trending up as well many being 200k+ with substantial sign on bonuses. With overtime, many CAAs are pulling $250k a year relatively easily. Just depends on how much you want to work. Rewarding career as well, so definitely go for it.

[@CAALifestyle]

More CAA content 🤩 can’t wait to watch more from you.

[@Farrenamara]

Thanks for watching! ♥️

[@ronkethewriter]

@@Farrenamara yaaaay @CAALifestyle found you. She is lovely too

[@dylanw5166]

AA's got to realize our value and not accept any crap offers. need to accept 200k+

[@MsKoolaid97]

I'm so glad I've found your channel. It's hard to find content out there about anesthesiologist assistants (love me some Chabely & Sally!), especially a black woman! I will definitely be following your journey to help keep me pushin because this lil undergraduate is eating me up 🥲.

[@Farrenamara]

Well thank you so much for joining me! Lol I felt that undergrad is eating me up part lmao literally me. You can do this. Just pray and keep reminding yourself what you are working for.

[@danielw3014]

Love this content! Can we get a day in the life? I really enjoy those types of videos

[@Farrenamara]

Hey! Thanks for watching. I’m going to do my best, I get nervous recording in public lol but I’m working on it

[@zanegood855]

Loved the video! Could you do a video on writing a personal statement? Also, your path to AA (prerequisites online? Degree issues?) thanks ❤

[@Farrenamara]

This is great. I may include some of this in the Q&A as well.

[@zanegood855]

@@Farrenamara that would be awesome! Also, could you provide a cost breakdown per CAA practicing state? It’s easy to see an average salary, but I’d like to know where the money-making states are since practice is limited. Thanks 😘

[@arabella777]

lol you keep it so real I love that! Glad I was here before 1k 🤣💕

[@sheilasimpson7092]

I like you… meaning your genuine vibe. Direct but cool. Pragmatic and the truth! BTW: Love that you are rockin UNC-Charlotte the 49ers shirt. Good luck with your career and your channel.

[@J.I.0]

Waiting on your paycheck reveal video. I recently saw a CAA on CNBC MADE IT. Don't see why you couldn't be on there too if you applied to be on or cared to be on something like that.

[@areebebrahim39]

Thank you so much for all of this insight!

[@Farrenamara]

Thanks for coming back!

[@Cuteandprosperous]

Good morning Farrah. Can you do a video on the resources you used to take the GRE?

[@TrueScandal]

I’m in between becoming anesthesiologist and a anesthesiologist assistant I’m indecisive 😭

[@Farrenamara]

lol that was me in undergrad but for me I was already tired of being in school for so long and I was ready to get to the money. I also liked the idea of being the person to call for help instead of the one that holds the most responsibility and makes the final calls (too much pressure for me personally). I wanted a guaranteed 40hr/ week and less debt of course. BUT obviously there are a million benefits to becoming a physician! (More money, independence, more knowledge, you can work ANYWHERE, etc)

[@Armyblink4life554]

That’s me rn but I’m going for assistance I feel like

[@fatmaamiraemam8280]

girl ur so funny thank for the tips 😘😘

[@subibrothersbrewing6598]

Starting my journey to CRNA. Love the content. #601 subscriber

[@Farrenamara]

Thank you so much! I love that for you! Come on Anesthesia family!

[@tafarihowe3277]

I work in two level ones trauma center. let me tell you something. They offer mad money but you work for 12 hrs straight lol. What’s a break? Lol

[@Farrenamara]

Exactly! Like I need my 15 min breakfast, I need lunch, I need to use the bathroom. A million people in the room is helpful but stressful. Skills will be at 150% though for sure.

[@revertedrf978]

I work 12 hours now in a warehouse 😂😂 no difference to some of us

[@pipesonbikes4041]

The shirt is what got the like comment and sub. 9er fam let’s go🤙🏾.

Bleed Green ♥️

[@lilylovesyoule]

Not me having the same T-shirt 😂 Go Niners!

Bleed Green!!!!

[@taylaxx1]

Just stumbled on your channel, I have an interview with Case Cle next week!

[@Farrenamara]

Congratulations! And Good Luck!

[@mckenziegustas4197]

This girl is so funny but helpful at the same time lol 😆

[@Farrenamara]

I do what I can 😌😂 thanks for watching!

[@jazzi5807]

Hi! Do you offer one and one talks with inspiring AAs?! I would love to pick your brain more about this!

[@Farrenamara]

Hey! Just follow me on instagram and dm me there because I’m More likely to see your message! Ask me anything in there. I’m here to give yall all the tea.

[@Cuteandprosperous]

Also did you have any study tips for memorizing and learning so much information

[@Farrenamara]

Hey! I used a lot of flashcards, so that I could write the info down a million times until it was stuck in my head, listened to the lectures over and over, the more time I spent in the OR the more sense everything made. Its easier for me to learn things when I’m actually using the info in real time. I would make the instructors teach me something every day in the OR or help me understand a difficult concept.

[@youtuber-gv4qh]

Good job, girl. Keep up the excellent work.

[@revaichikanya3701]

Can you change from being an RN to CAA. What is the process?

[@bossmaynestoyaaa]

I’m literally thinking about doing this.

[@ainaachayasalifou8996]

Me too 😂

[@tnicole5583]

Me too

[@Farrenamara]

Hey you need your bachelors degree and as long as you complete the prerequisite courses that the program asks you for then you can just apply and do the 2 years. After that, CONGRATULATIONS! You’re an AA and an RN .

[@antoniogray1417]

Great Video !! How do you feel about someone coming from a stats degree, no health care experience. But high GPA, pre reqs done, and potentially high GRE. How competitive would I be with no health care experience?

[@Latise365]

🤑🤑

[@NancyL-b9k]

Current Junior in college from a non-traditional background looking to hopefully become a CAA. Do you have any tips on how to be a competitive applicant for CAA school for someone in a non-traditional major? Like tips on how to get to start getting experience with shadowing or patient interaction? Also love the video, you are hilarious!!

[@Farrenamara]

Thank you for watching! High GPA, MCAT>GRE, experience in medical/patient care helps but not necessary. Bomb personal statement and bomb interview. The fact that you are nontraditional already sets you apart.

[@Cuteandprosperous]

Love your content. I have a question.. Locoms work.. have you heard an estimate of how much they pay an hour?

[@zanegood855]

My thoughts exactly 😂 thanks for this video … very insightful!

[@Farrenamara]

Hi! Every hospital will have a different contract. I know a couple of AAs who recently started traveling I want to say one of them said like $150/hr , some places offer more/less. Also the length of the contract varies as well(3 months to a year)

[@sofian7585]

Hi how did you get shadowing hours? i’m in the dc area ready to apply but unable to get shadowing hours

[@Nannased738]

Omg $3,000 a month in student loans🤯

[@HerroItsStephh]

I recently heard about what an AA is and I think Id like to pursue it and was curious as to what the fastest someone can achieve this from the starting line

[@Farrenamara]

Bachelors degree is 4 years unless you do it quicker than that. Masters program is 2 years no shorter than that though

Hi does anyone know how a UK AA can become a CAA in the US?

[@aaas6348]

Hi, how did you become CAA? From UK I have never studied 😢

[@i10_iO]

I'm anesthesia technologist and I have bachelor's degree. Can I work in USA?

[@vanshiipatel6927]

Can you let me know that surgical first assistant makes more or anaesthesia assistant?

[@Farrenamara]

Hi, I do not know how much surgical assists make. However, AAs make from $160k-220k starting.

[@victorchinedunwabueze4050]

😂😂😂😂😂 Congratulations

[@luisnavarro9763]

Salarywise who has the highest between crna and aa?

[@Farrenamara]

Crna

[@Farrenamara]

But some places they make the same amount

[@JohnstasBACK]

Yes. More. MORE of this. How to get in. Without Biochemistry. Will they still take me? If I shadow or be an anesthesia tech

[@Farrenamara]

Hey! so different schools will have different course requirements so you will just need to check with each program to see who wants what. Whatever prereqs they have listed are a requirement though. Shadowing is a requirement at this point. Becoming an anesthesia tech will help with your experience. Getting in is extremely difficult now because the career has become more popular so you need to go above and beyond. But....YOU CAN DO IT!

[@JohnstasBACK]

@@Farrenamara damn, Fr? Whew 😮‍💨 I am taking Biochem this Spring, completed shadowing, and take the GRE this Summer . I’ll lyk if I ever get in!

[@sarahkissaify]

If you have a kid you’ll keep more of it

[@Farrenamara]

Yes but that’s a whole child. Sebastian (my fur baby) is a handful enough right now 😮‍💨😂

[@kenzcanuel1]

Omg I’m so happy I just found your channel!!! I just graduated with my bio degree and I am taking a gap year to build my application for anesthesiologist assistant school!! Do you think you can make a whole video on the application process and any tips to help? I feel like there’s not a ton of videos out there for this specific program and any advice will be much appreciated!!🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@FiorellaMejia-ci2jg]

lol you keep it so real I love that! Glad I was here before 1k 🤣💕

[@Farrenamara]

Thank you!!!! Love the support fr! Means soooo much 🥰
