Ask the likes of Paris Hilton or GW about achieving social status. I am sure theirs is ascribed, but that's another topic. For a second I thought you were complaining about the equal status of AAs vs. CRNAs. As you noticed, they are equal in regards to salary and how they function within the anesthesia care team. Choose the one you like best and good luck.

And with the boatloads of new NP and PA schools popping up all over the country saturating the market with providers, I doubt we will be able to bargain for higher salaries in the near future.

They pay that because they can. There's always someone that can fill your shoes as in PAs. HArd to bargain when you have others wanting your job.

You are right....check ut above link.

i saw this coming.......... american medical association house of delegates http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:qx2sq5opb6kj:www.ama-assn.org/ama1/pub/upload/mm/471/211a06.doc+ama+resolution+211&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk& cd=6 i say this is going to be a big issue in the coming years now that docs know about the dnp and see this as direct competition and a threat to them. i guess the forum of public opinion will decide. the cat is out of the bag.
