How much a CRNA really makes ?

Off hand, no, but I found it through whatever the AA national organization website is.

It's vague here but it says "The supervision ratio may also be defined in state law or Board of Medicine guidelines and is usually between 2:1 and 4:1. Check the regulations in your state for the applicable standard."

2nd yr out of school. $172K base. With minimal OT will hit $180-185K. From Texas. Situation is still good for TX CRNA's and nationally. Do not let anybody tell you different. Also had multiple job offers in the $170-$190K range.

^Yep that is the salary in Texas. I found this to be an excellent source of info and right on par with the CrnaTx.

It is way off. I would advise sticking with the AANA annual compensation and benefits survey. IMO it seems to be the most in depth and accurate information about CRNA salaries.

How is it "way off"?provide an example to back up such a claim.

If you're pay-based, and you made more as a nurse, it's time to move. Base here is 170-230, and it's not even the best paying market.

I already have. You need to go to the AANA website and view the annual compensation and benefits summary. That source is probably the most up to date and inclusive database for CRNA salaries and benefits.

This should include hours worked biweekly

Hours worked, call, OB versus not OB call, direction/supervision/independent, CRNA only, ASC vs hospital only, teaching vs non-teaching institute, retirement plan, insurance, educational benefits, dues paid, vacation time/time off, 1099 or W2, bill yourself, profit sharing, non compete clauses, in house call vs at home call, multiple facilities. These are just some of the things to consider when looking at salary for a CRNA position.

For example: There is a CRNA job now making 160K/yr working 2wk on 2wk off. That isn't a lot but it is W2 position with state retirement and state benefits. They only do B&B cases and have less 100 OB deliveries a year. So all in all that means very little and usually call from home with epidural monitoring from home for the CRNAs. Now assuming they don't have a non-compete clause then you could easily work at another place and probably make another 100K on top of your normal salary and still have several weeks vacation every year.

There are other places where you can become a partner and easily make 200-400K, but it is 1099.

There are so many options available for CRNAs that aren't available to nurses that a simple I make X a week will never be adequate to understand what that salary entails.

*Bows* Thank you -so much- for that explanation. It's something for me to look forward to.

Makes no sense to pay $200 for a few thousand dollar difference. Link is a little older but, it does the trick. Crnatx compensation and link was good salary comparison. Good enough for me.Besides CRNA's who work for the any state hospital I can see their annual compensation online.
