To conclude our state-by-state [salary series for advanced practice providers](https://thriveap.com/blog/heres-average-physician-assistant-pay-state), today we’ll focus on CRNAs. Nurses I talk with that are interested in advancing their careers typically look at two paths, becoming a nurse practitioner or nurse anesthetist. The NP vs. CRNA decision is a big one for these nurses and naturally, salary is a consideration in this equation. Just how much can nurse practitioners and nurse anesthetists expect to earn? Last week we checked out[ compensation for NPs by state](https://thriveap.com/blog/state-state-nurse-practitioner-salary-guide). Today, we’ll look at the average CRNA salary across the country.
