Salary Survey
From Clerks to CRNAs, What ASC Employees Make
CRNAs and nursing directors saw the biggest percentage jumps in their salaries from 2001 to 2002, according to the national ASC salary data from the Federated Ambulatory Surgery Association (FASA).

The average CRNA salary at an ASC went up more than $14,000 in the last year, from $87,727 to $101,825, a 16 percent increase. The average nursing director salary rose more than $6,000, from $53,702 to $59,812, an 11 percent increase. Anesthesiologists also fared well, their average salary rising about $8,000 to an average of $204,850, a 4.4 percent increase. The percentage increases were not quite as dramatic in other areas, but every position took home more last year than in 2001. Here's the breakdown.
