It is honestly stupid. I got to meet an AA here in florida yesterday and she was so nice, In fact some of the other staff including CRNA's were very nice. All thanking each other for the help/breaks etc...... You know I have heard of pathology assistants, and radiology assistants. How come the nurses arent trying to step into those positions. I mean its like ARNP for PA's, CRNA's for AA's, But through the medical school there are at least two other master level clinicians the radiology and pathology assistants. Why don't they put money into getting a schooling so they can do those too?
