High demand continues to affect compensation for certified registered nurse anesthetists, resulting in a 9.6% increase in median total cash compensation from 2022 to 2023, according to one new survey.
The finding is from an annual advanced practitioner compensation survey from Chicago-based consulting firm SullivanCotter.
