Is the AA profession gaining ground?

Specialties CRNA

Published

Another thread peaked my interest on this issue. How fast is the AA profession gaining ground? I thought they were able to practice in only 2 or 3 states last year, but now it sounds like they are able to practice in 16? Will they be able to practice in even more states soon? Comments appreciated

Come up with something better than this please. It's about as worn out as all the "yo momma" jokes

Not intended as a joke...you appear to be one who needs to release a lot of tension and angst. Ok, yoga perhaps? Someone on here that could probably help you with that one.

Guys.... guys.... please! Don't fight with each other. That's what JWK and I are here for.

Excellent - go back to sleep.

Typical though. Ignore the facts, spout off about the "A$A", which I know is your personal favorite abbreviation to toss around.

So 65% of practicing CRNA's are of the "poor brow-beaten dumbed down" variety? That's what you're saying, because that's how many practice in anesthesia care team practices with an anesthesiologist. Sure, some have more autonomy than others. The point is, the anesthesiologist is still there. If fully independent CRNA practice is the ultimate desire of the AANA, why do it's members elect a president that is part of a 100% medically-directed-by-the-book practice?

Five AA schools and counting - more in the works. Don't assume we're going to sit back and chill out.

What are the five schools? I know of ;

1. emory

2. case

don't know the other 3.

case in point

I'm with rayman. 3 threads on AAs isn't necessary. At least close 2 of them down.

The 5th program at UMKC was formally announced two months ago. They will be accepting applications in a few months for the class entering in the summer of 2007. Since there is no contact data yet, their information has not been placed on our website. However, if you'd like, I'd be happy to PM it to you when it becomes available.

Sure. (I'm being sincere)

I was just wondering why the two links from the official site were inconsistent; I guess they just haven't been updated. (i.e. one link stating only 3 programs are accredited, along with actually having 5 accredited programs as posted here)

Thanks for responding. I was just curious.

Talking about AAs for the one millionth time isn't exactly going to bring everybody back. The main beef with this board is the lack of clinically relevant topics. If you think this place is a ghost town, talk about something relevant and let's not reinvent an argument that will go to nowhere really quickly. I'll start it off.

This website has seen more traffic with controversial topics than without and as a result more people as responding to other threads as well. So quit whining about the topic, stop reading the thread if you don't like it, and start taking advantage of the greater input to other threads as a result of this one.

Here's the greater input. We don't want AAs around. Damn I feel better. Now do you have to hear it in 16 different languages to argue about the same message. Do you need 3 threads all on the 1st page of this board to say the same thing? There's your great advantage.

Oh yeah. How does everybody feel about AAs? :lol2:
