@Charliesch …the need for CRNAs and NPs varies significantly by region, as does the pay. For instance, I hear regularly from NPs in Florida that they cannot find a job and their reported pay seems to be on the extreme low end of pay for NPs (i.e. $80K per year). But in other parts of the country I know of NPs starting at 100K +.
CRNAs are always going to earn more and I know some whose income approaches $300K per year (rural areas with high need).
