How much do CRNAs make in Alaska?
BLS does not publish a Nurse Anesthetist wage estimate specific to Alaska in its May 2023 release (it does report 40 Nurse Anesthetists employed in the state, just not a wage figure). Nationally, CRNAs average $214,200/year ($103/hour), per the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics. Actual pay in Alaska will depend on your employer, setting, and experience. See our full state salary guide for context on where Alaska likely falls relative to neighboring states.

Our Final Thoughts
Salary numbers are a starting point, not the whole decision. Alaska's BLS figure tells you what CRNAs there report earning on average — it doesn't tell you what a specific employer will offer you, what taxes and cost of living do to that number, or whether the program that gets you there is worth its tuition. Run your own numbers before you commit to a state or a program.
