I'm not sure on the hourly pay that a nurse anesthetist makes but on average nurse anesthetist make $156,000.00 per year which is pretty good pay.
In some states such as Montana a nurse anesthetist makes around $243,000.00 per year which is even more than some nurse anesthetist make in some other states.
Getting into anesthetist as a nurse for a career is a pretty great choice and can earn you some good money if you can land the job.
