    Re: BSN(nurses) and CRNAs can attend AA school(Anesthetist program) Archived Message

    This message is for BSN(nurses) and CRNAs who either have no clue or just arrogant. To the fact they don't want to admit that AAs/AA-Cs are very strong and competent anesthetist. Just like CRNAs. I would like to share a story with you about a BSN nurse who went the AA route(Anesthetist program). After reading this story I hope you CRNAs will have a better op ion or more respect for AAs/AA-Cs.

    After all when you disrespect and constantly bash the AAa/AA-Cs just remember your disrespecting one of your own peers or people(BSN nurses)that once worked with you in an I.C.U.. Remember they still are an R.N.".

    BO
    I am originally from Greensboro, N.C. but now call Atlanta, Ga. home. I have been there about 10 years. I received a bachelor of science in nursing from N.C. A & T State University in 1995. I worked as an intensive care nurse in many areas for about 7 years. I returned to school and received a master of science in nursing with a specialty as an acute care nurse practitioner from Emory University in 2001. Since then I have practiced as a nurse practitioner doing liver transplant and cardiothoracic surgery. I have worked with AAs in every hospital I have practiced. I chose AA over CRNA because I feel I will receive a better education. I chose Nova because of Rob Wagner and his leadership in the AA community.

    In closing I would like to say If BSN(nurses)or CRNAs can attend AA school. And both AA-Cs/CRNAs can train or teach both students anesthetist. Whether there an AA-S(student)or SRNA(student). What dose that tell you?. It means that both AA-C/CRNA(Anesthetist) are on equal settings.

    It also says that both AA-Cs/CRNAs are strong competent anesthetist. With a Master degree.

    1. ANESTHESIOLOGIST ASSISTANT CERTIFIED ANESTHETIST AA-C-A. M.M.Sc. Master of Medical Science in Anesthesiology. or M.S.A. Master of Science in Anesthesia/Anesthesiology.

    2.CERTIFIED REGISTER NURSE ANESTHETIST CRNA. M.S.N. Master of Science in Nursing(Anesthesia) or M.S.A. Master of Science in Nurse Anesthesia.

    Meaning we as anesthetist AA-Cs/CRNAs should be governed under one law and one anesthesia group. PERIOD. No question ask. I really hope this change a lot of CRNAs negative views on this AA web site. Who keeps coming on here and disrespecting the AA/AA-C profession.

    Oh, and please check out this web site down below. By reading this positive story. By clicking on it. Thank you
