1. How do you really feel about AA and would you go that route now if you could do over?

   georgia_aa replied to kukukajoo's topic in CRNA

   This is complete and total BS. I can categorically state with 100% certainty that no graduate of an accredited AA program has EVER gone back to be trained as a CRNA.

   georgia_aa replied to Alpha13's topic in CRNA

   Greg - I have no doubt that you are a good guy and mean what you say. However, you ARE against AAs if you are a dues paying member of the AANA. A percentage of every dollar that you pay to them goes directly towards efforts severely curtail or elim...

6. TEXAS CRNA's Call to action. Stop the potential AA bill!

   georgia_aa replied to Outdoor1's topic in CRNA

   Very simple. We take the jobs in the cities working with the anesthesiologists, thereby freeing you guys up to take the jobs in the underserved rural areas. You don't want to work under MDA supervision anyway ... no problem - we'll do it.

7. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

   georgia_aa replied to Alpha13's topic in CRNA

   Where did you get the statistic that complications are occuring in 1% of AA cases???? That is an outrageous fabrication. Where is your data to support the notion that the public is at risk?? It is a fact that AAs are as safe as CRNAs. If you read t...

10. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    georgia_aa replied to Alpha13's topic in CRNA

    Umm.... Okay...not exactly a scathing indictment of the AA profession, but if it really happened I see that as nothing more than you coming across a slack AA student. Maybe she did not know you were discussing Succinylcholine. If she came from the Em...

13. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    georgia_aa replied to Alpha13's topic in CRNA

    Cool Mike. New AA grads are brought along slowly in the ACT environment. Easy cases to start, lots of direct supervision. Over time, they become more independant and gravitate to the bigger more complex cases. Just like the mentoring that you got ...

14. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    georgia_aa replied to Alpha13's topic in CRNA

    No, I am an AA who can do everything that a CRNA does (except bill for my services) and I was trained in 2 years. And I, unlike you have more insight into your profession than you have in mine since I have always, my whole carreer worked with CRNAs ...

15. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    georgia_aa replied to Alpha13's topic in CRNA

    You get no argument from me on this. I have stated numerous times that the CRNA right out of school probably has an advantage over the new AA grad. But after 5 years you would not be able to tell them apart. I'll take it one step further and say that...
