My posts contain facts, not lies or opinions. Yes I am a Registered Nurse and proud of it. I'm also a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist and proud of it. You remain a doctors assistant. My capabilities as a CRNA allow me to practice nationwide and since 2001 State Governors in 25% plus of all US states have opted out of all federal requirements for physician supervision of CRNAs. You must find it odd that NO negative outcome data exists in these "****holes"(your terminology)relating to the independent practice of Nurse Anesthesia. You claim AAs "can do it as well as I can". Please post the data supporting that claim. As I have posted before: pick any of the 50 states,sorry just kidding, pick one of the few you are actually allowed to work in. Then to keep it simple, choose the easiest case you can imagine. Now formulate an anesthesia plan and institute it without an MDA just like "I can". Then find yourself in jail for breaking the state laws bought and paid for by you A$A MDA masters. Just like "I can"? In your dreams.
