This board allows anyone to establish pseudo-credibility and play with the big dogs.
Truth is you have no hands-on anesthesia credibility. Your just a know-it-all first year student, typical of most programs. Not saying you are wrong, just saying you don't count.
So you have dealt with AAs as a unit RN. Congratulations. I have dealt with them as an anesthesia provider and I see the big picture. I have been in the trenches with the AAs. I see how f'ed up Georgia is. I worked at Memorial in Savannah. Their PACU has the mentality of a battleground due to the conflicts between CRNAs and AAs.
Get back to reading Physiology. Come back here when you have a 1,000 cases under your belt.
