It seems like there has probably been a lot of scope creep in the nursing role due to the artificially induced doctor shortage.

A nurse anesthetist median income in the U.S. is 223210 USD. They administer medicine throughout surgery, e.g. brain surgery, open heart surgery, etc.

They make more than I do with over 25 years as a software engineer. If that’s not professional, what is?
