Just saw this article from Money......

(arija Kavilanz, senior writer)
"Despite the growing shortage of family doctors in the United States, medical centers last year offered higher salaries and incentives to specialist nurses than to primary care doctors, according to an annual survey of physicians' salaries.

Primary care doctors were offered an average base salary of $173,000 in 2009 compared to an average base salary of $189,000 offered to certified nurse anesthetists, or CRNAs, according to the latest numbers from Merritt Hawkins & Associates, a physician recruiting and consulting firm.

And the firm's projections for 2010 indicate that the average base salary for family physicians will be about $178,000 compared to $186,000 for CRNAs."

Its good to see CRNA's getting paid like heroes! Most people that go in for surgery are more concerned about the procedure and the Doctor doing the cutting. Not a lot of people stop to think that it's the CRNA that's putting them to sleep, monitoring all their vitals, making sure they're oxygenated and (this is important).... making sure they wake up!

Woohoo!!! I'm in the money, I'm in the money... In about 8 months my wife will be a CRNA. She graduates in 7.5 moths and will take her board exams about a month later. I can see 1 tons and a 6.4L Hemi in my future.

That's your wife making the coin, not you pal.

You're expendable.

Is that how you look at your wife, as expendable? (assuming that you're the bread winner)

Well, Kristen still has about 7 months to go until she completes her residency and she still has a tough road ahead. She has both oral and written board exams coming up as well as an hour long presentation that she's giving tomorrow.

The good news is that she went on her first interview yesterday and was told today that she would be getting an offer letter via FedEx tomorrow. WooHoo! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
