HERE IS A QUOTE THAT I READ ON STUDENTDOCTOR.NET.. I AM GLAD THAT MEDICAL STUDENTS AND MDA'S ARE RESPECTING CRNA'S FOR A CHANGE!!

"The asa does not do shat.. thats why I am an attending and i refuse to give them my money. They totally gave the profession to the crnas on a silver platter and they crnas said thank you very much and they are growing and growing and becoming more autonomous. they stick together, they help each other out professionally they have one voice and they lobby like crazy. The asa makes life for residents more difficult, they make more rules and more rules, they increase the price of the board exam, they make it more and more difficult to pass these exams, they are not education friendly. Its all about the benjamins with the asa. and you know what.. for me its all about the benjamins thats why i dont join. the only laws they are coming up with is more hoops to jump through.. now they came out with maintenance of certification.. just more hoops to jump through.. the recertification exam is easy as **** now but when i take it in 8 years.. it probably wont be.. there will be a 20 percent faill rate.. thats what they do in their offices.. they think their own is the enemy and they make practice increasingly more difficult

SOrry about that rant.

If you like anesthesia, its a good fit.. do a residency in it. For me, it fit like a glove and I enjoy anesthesia . I hate the people who run it.. I dont know what it will be like in 20 years honestly. I will be in my prime then. BUt i can tell you this much, crnas will have a lot more power then they do now.. so if you want something that you enjoy go into anesthesia but i can tell you that their are crna encroaching on the territory of the anesthesiologist.. I have to go watch entourage now"

We need to reclaim our "territory" as CRNA's. You are right they need a history lesson on the history of anesthesia. We should all read up on our history (I recommend the book watchful care, which can be purchased on AANA website). The truth is there is enough "territory' for everyone, but when folks get $$$ in their eyes things get clouded. So...heres to lobbying and sticking together for what's fair and right!

Finally, somewhat admits there's room for everyone, and that money, as always, is the root of most of these issues.

It comes down to pure economics: CRNA's provide excellent outcomes at a lower price, that is what is going to drive the docs out.

That's right and statistics to back it up! We all just have to keep trudging forward!
