Question
Hello, I am writing a research paper on nurse anesthetist and I was wondering if you can help me, by answering the following questions.
1) What made you want to start this profession?
2) What is the average annual salary?
3)How does it affect your personal life?
4)What are the benefits of the job?
5) What are the disadvantages of the job?
Thank you so much! Your help is greatly appreciated.

Answer
Hi there
I am a doctor in the UK who then trained for a further 7 years to become a Consultant Anaesthetist. I reckon my answers wouldn't help as they would have nothing to do with nurse anaesthetists (which we still don't really have in the UK)
Sorry
