Merritt Hawkins & Associates Study
[Staff Reporters
]
Some nurses land higher salaries than primary care doctors, according to staffing firm Merritt Hawkins & Associates.
The Survey
In the past year, nurse anesthetists recruited through the staffing firm Merritt Hawkins & Associates, landed salaries that averaged $185,000; compared to the pay for family practice doctors hired through the firm, who averaged $172,000; and internists, who averaged $176,000; according to a Wall Street Journal report, on June 18, 2008.
Assessment
The Merritt Hawkins figures for the nurses are higher than some other sources, like the Medical Group Management Association. The MGMA also tracks health care salaries and puts nurse anesthetists’ median compensation at $140,000 per year. The discrepancy may be because fewer employers go through recruiters to hire the nurses, and those who do are willing to pay top dollar.
