We are also getting paid more than sanitation engineers. Different skills, different job.

Complaining about overcompensation is a bad strategy, I thought the whole point of CRNA independence is so that they could claim a higher salary? You want to be paid like an anesthesiologist, don’t complain that they’re overpaid, otherwise with less education you’d obviously be less of good value at the same price...

Problem is the nurses have taken control of the narrative. No one other than physicians really understands the practice of medicine.

The nurses have gotten the ear of the legislators making arguments they can’t back up but the legislators just accept their arguments as fact.

They testify that they provide the same level of care and site flailed studies and these lawmakers eat it up as increasing access to healthcare to their constituents with no clue about the ramifications.

More and more medical administrators are willing to let quality slide as quality is a difficult thing to measure, unlike costs. The average patient has really no idea how to judge the quality of their provider. As a similar example, when you bring your Toyota to a repair shop to have the brakes repaired, do you ask the name and certification of your technician?

The nurses have gotten the wallet of the legislators*

The joke is on the nurses as their argument will ultimately result in lower salaries for everyone including them.

funny that theyre comparing their 35 hour work week salaries to 60 hour work week anesthesiologists with 5x their training.
