I agree with Yoga re: skepticism. It ain't all about the salary. However, for once, I have found one thing to disagree with Yoga about.
I have found a huge number of people, mostly hospital administrators, who think CRNA's are vastly overpaid. One even described CRNA's as "greedy." Guess that should have been a clue to not work there, huh?
