Will There Be Too Many CRNA's?

It seems to me that everywhere I go, I see so many people who want to be CRNA's. So the question is, will there be a time when the field will have too many CRNA's? I mean part of the reason why CRNA's make good money is because of the supply and demand. If there are too many CRNA's in the future, will the pay scale go down and will they have a hard time finding jobs? I mean I know that my question might seem a bit riduculous, but I'm a new grad RN and I NEVER thought the day would come when I can say that I've applied to 30 different facilities and have been turned down. What do you guys think?

Out of every 100 that want to be CRNAs I expect I am being generous if 10 make it.........

As far as RN and LPN go, about the only chance I see is to unionize and stick together....

No, I don't think so. Those programs want the MOOLAH...however, will there be good CRNAs?

THAT'S the question. I think many anesthesia groups will become pickier. I know the group I work around are discerning between those who've got excellent clinical background (10 plus years in an ICU, TRAUMA) versus those who do the minimal.

The ones who have better experience are getting hired and they are awesome, even as a new CRNA. The ones with minimal ICU experience are very insecure and MISS A LOT. Our anesthesiologists somewhat "babysit" those CRNAs..i.e. keep them close by, visit the OR/room alot, etc.,
