My my my. We do get hostile when confronted with the facts now don't we! Unlike CRNAs, AAs can't deliver the simplest anesthetic with out an MDA. They are actually prohibited by law (via A$A design) from doing so. A far cry from a CRNA. Equal? Only in your fantasy land. No RN needs to become a trained chimp (AA) permanently tethered to an MDA organ grinder when he or she can become a CRNA.
