    Why Do Crna Gets Paid So Much?

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

    unsafe MD

    TazziRN replied to girlgizmo's topic in General Nursing

    Why not go to both? The fact that others have written him up tells us that you are not spoiled or overreacting. If write-ups haven't worked then it's time to go higher up the food chain. Not to...
