I couldn’t agree more. Example: I own a business and have one employee that has been a CRNA for 40+ years and has retired from the VA and a teaching university. Never complains, loves people, patients and work. Just happy to be able to do something. Doesn’t complain about compensation and it’s more than fair. Doesn’t chase the extra $15/hr bc he knows there’s more joy right where he is.

CRNAs really need to know what they actually generate in revenue then maybe the demands will decrease and they will be happy that they make what they do. Stipends are weakening our story.
