Anyone have any experience with anesthesia assistants compared to CRNAs ?

Specialties CRNA

Published

I am about half way through my undergraduate classes. I was planning on going to medical school but and having serious second thoughts. I really enjoy the health care field and want to stay in it. The classes I have taken get me about half way through the science classes required for nursing school and almost all the way through the prereques for anesthesia assistant school.

Are the two degrees, CRNA and anesthesia assistant, very similar ? Are there any advantages to either one ? Which one is more employable ? Any thoughts ?

Do you have any links to sites that list current numbers of AA's in active practice?

I don't know of any websites with those figures. I think the current number in practice is about 700-800 or so.

And 400 of those are in Georgia?
