    Thanks you two. I will look into it. Last statistics class I took was back in '98, so I'll take that one again. Besides, I just love school, and the challenge.

14. CRNA Salaries. Have They Gone Down?

    Riversurfer replied to Celicastrtrcr's topic in SRNA

    Great. I hope CRNAs do become educated at the doctoral level. That'll just be more applicants turned away, more respect and skill within the field, and less competition for me. Bigsky
