    JimmyMallo replied to MilwaukeeMike's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Here's an idea, if you want to be an AA then go to allAA's.com (if there's not one then start one up) and talk about it. This conversation is old, it's like the AA's come here because they don't have...

  3. Anyone have any experience with anesthesia assistants compared to CRNAs ?

    JimmyMallo replied to MilwaukeeMike's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  5. Should I Move in With Parents???

    JimmyMallo replied to csojet's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  9. New edition of Miller bashes CRNAs

    JimmyMallo replied to gotosleep's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    #1 CRNA's can function independently in all states, supervision seems to vary by job more than by state. #2 even working Locum Tenens most groups will cover your malpractice cost. Go to...
