   Y'all can't have it both ways. Either your "extra training" makes you better than AAs, but you have to concede therefore, that MDs extra training makes them more capable than you. And thus, you must concede your right to practice independently is m...

   So the MAJORITY of CRNAs practice independently and not in the care team huh? That's interesting, considering CRNAs are only able to practice independently in 1/3 of the states in the US. Hmmmmmmm..... Its just shocking that y'all claim such super...

   It's the same thing as PAs and NPs... If a huge political lobby acquires some practice rights for you, that doesn't change any reality in your intelligence or abilities. You honestly think a bachelors in nursing somehow enables this ability to indep...

   Yawn. The VAST majority of stuff learned in nursing school ain't got a whole lot to do with anesthesia. Just sayin'... Why do the majority of y'all hold the same role that we do across the country, for the same pay, same benefits, schedules, respons...

   Oh lighten up. The bedpan thing was just a jab, sheesh. Kind of akin to talking about AAs as "down the food chain" from CRNAs. I'm very confident in my role and abilities. As is my chair of anesthesia who, for some silly reason, pays me the same...

   Also, even though arguments online tend to get kind of feisty, I have no problem with most CRNAs. I work with a bunch of em, as our group is about 50/50 AA/CRNA. Most of them are very friendly and well trained, and would say the same about AAs. It...

   So....if you're truly wanting facts on these two professions, you're not in the right place. Unless you want to be indoctrinated by the CRNAs here into believing that AAs are mere assistants and that CRNAs are somehow anesthesiologists in disguise. ...

   I think y'all must be trained on this phrase during CRNA school. Do you recite it like the pledge each day in class? I've heard a bunch of you say it, and have never heard a shred of evidence as to what you actually think it means in practicality. ...

   Ummm, you DO realize that there are CRNAs with only an associates degree in nursing and no master's of anesthesia right? That for the first 40 something years of CRNAs existence you didn't even need a master's degree right? Thats anyone before 1998...
