Well, at least the ones in Florida. Can't say it's really surprising. I'd move.

Does Florida just not take care of their nurses pay wise? Is that why CRNAs are "doomed"?

Anesthesiologist's assistant. Need 2:1 supervision but can never practice independently, so they are loved by anesthesiologists. There are hospitals in Florida that no longer employ them because of consistently poor outcomes.

They're also going around calling themselves CAAs, to sound more like CRNA and confuse patients. Or they'll introduce themselves as anesthetist, when really they should introduce themselves as assistant.

There isn't any rule that I know of that AAs have to work under a 2:1 direction. The only time I know that 2:1 supervision is mandated is when supervising anesthesia residents/SRNAs/AA students, if you know of something different I would definitely like to see regulation.

You can at least find out on a state level how much an CRNA's make when working for state facilities. Pick any state and look up employees payroll information. It is available for EVERY STATE. When you work for the state your pay is public knowledge.

Good to know. Do you have links to the regulations?
