There is a CRNA shortage in the USA because there is a RN shortage. The CRNA programs, even though they increased in numbers recently and expanded enrollment, are still graduating 1000 too few CRNAs to fill the needs of the USA. Add to that the massive number of CRNA baby boomers who are going to retire in the next 10 years and you will have a shortage that will counter any efforts by Hillary and gang to "improve medical care" in the USA. The Anesthesiologists are in the same boat. Too few being graduated, boomers coming up on retirement. Neither the MDA or the CRNA routes have had enough "modifications" done to make up for the shortage. Thus we need the AAs if we want to maintain quality anesthesia care in the USA. I speak from experience as I have been doing NURSE ANESTHESIA for 32 years and taught for 10 of those years. The nation needs the AAs and rather than fighting what the nation needs, my fellow CRNAs need to wake up and start acting like responsible providers and not money grubbing mercenaries of anesthesia.
