[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Excellent career path. My sister is a CRNA and can work whatever days she wants (usually about 2-3 weeks a month), has the ability to make lots of overtime and makes about $250k a year in a lcol area. [/quote]

Robotic anesthesia will reduce that lucrative niche don’t count on same money in future. [/quote]

What’s robotic anesthesia? Would that impact an anesthetiologist?[/quote]

Automated anethesia https://pubs.asahq.org/anesthesiology/article/132/2/219/108799/Robots-Will-Perform-Anesthesia-in-the-Near-Future I think most automatic medicine (including anesthesia) is more likely to replace higher paid MDs than nurses. Unless you have the surgeon monitoring the anethesia, someone still has to do it and a nurse making half as much as a doctor seems more likely to keep their job. [/quote]

Maybe, but sht flows down so if doctor pay drops, nurse pay would drop. [/quote]

Nursing is not "downhill" from medicine.  Nursing pay is not affected by MD pay.  Sorry.  Lots of doctors are very bitter about how much money RNs made during Covid vs. how much doctors were making. Nurses habitually make more money than residents and lower paid doctors. [/quote]

I’m a doctor and I’m thrilled that nurses are getting paid more and showing hospitals their worth. Good for them! Nothing can get done without nurses. I’m jealous of the nurse schedule Vs doctor schedule. Nursing seems more built for moms (3 days a week being full time for example). I would have considered doing nursing Vs medical school knowing what I know now. [/quote]
