    happydays352 replied to rrandle02's topic in General Nursing

    happydays352 replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

  24. Why Do Crna Gets Paid So Much?

    happydays352 replied to disboibdavid's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Not a medical doctor, just like a professor of history can have a PhD and be called a doctor. Or a bio professor can be a Dr. but is not an MD. I believe the PhD for the CRNA is more research based...
