Posted by DC on September 8, 2007, 2:36 pm 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 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

209.82.163.178DC, I am intrigued by your story as I am also an RN. I am considering AA school because I don't like nursing! I would love to hear why you chose anesthesia as a career even after getting your MSN/NP degree! NP is another choice I have considered. I need to get away from the bedside without getting into administration and would love to know how you wound up where you are. - Re: BSN(nurses) and CRNAs can attend AA school(Anesthetist program)

75.212.200.57I believe that most CRNAs believe that AAs are competent anesthetists. That's not the reason why there is such animosity expressed by some CRNAs toward AAs. The issue comes down to money. They want to keep the supply short, so that demand is consistently kept high and therefore very high salaries. In addition, some CRNAs like to point out that AAs will always be working under an anesthesiologist while CRNAs have some autonomy therefore they're somewhat of a threat to MDAs. Again, the money issue. With this threat, MDAs would favor hiring AAs as anesthetists as some CRNAs would like to believe. What's the real reason? Could it be that those MDAs just see better performance in AAs than CRNAs? Better educational background? No one knows for certain except the person hiring.
Who gets hurt in all this shortage of anesthetists and selfish motives? The patients.

98.196.225.91Hi WC I agree with you 100%. That most CRNAs believe that AA-Cs are competent anesthetist. But I'm also going by the majority of the CRNAs on this AA web site.
Who constantly repeats that AAs/AA-Cs have no ICU experience. Or they only have roughly 30-35 years of experience. Which makes AAs/AA-Cs incompetent anesthetist.
Another smoke screen when it comes to fear and competition from negative CRNAs only. I have two friends who are in CRNA school now as we speak. And one who is already practicing as a anesthetist(CRNA). Who I really consider my best friend. None of them have never heard of a AA or AA-C before. My best friend that is now practicing as a anesthetist(CRNA) may now have heard of AAs or AA-Cs now. Then again maybe not.
Even where I work just last week I told two of my anesthesia doctors(MDA). That I was going to the ASATT annual educational conference meeting. In San Francisco, California next month in October 2007.
One of my doctor said. Oh you talking about the ASA(American Society or Anesthesiologist MDA).In San Francisco, CA next month. I reply by saying no ASATT (American Society Of Anesthesia Technologist&Technician). Which is also in San Francisco, CA with the ASA conference too.
They both reply by saying that's great DC I didn't even know you had a society as a Anesthesia Technician or Technologist. I reply by saying yes we do. A lot of MDAs,R.N.s,RRTs,CNAs,CCPs,HCTs,STs etc.
Are unaware that anesthesia technicians and technologist have a society. We also have our own schools(six in the nation), magazine, educational conference meetings every year. We are well educated and know a lot more than people think. Again lack of education and communication.
The ASATT and ASA both have there annual conference meeting in the same city on the same week every year. Our guest speakers are MDAs,CRNA,CER.Anesthesia Technician, and a Corporation speaker. Last year we(ASATT&ASA) were in Chicago 2006
Not to get off the subject. But you right it is about $money when it comes to the majority of CRNAs on here that's all they talk about is $$$money(revenue) and independent practice. This is the reason why I have no respect for most CRNAs on this AA web site. There forgetting that the patient comes first. Something I never hear them talk about. With the exception of only one CRNA on here. He does talk about and focus on patients. That's what's most important. I have a lot of respect for him as a CRNA.
My opinon if your only in it for the money, then your in the wrong profession. Meaning you need to find a new career. True we need money to survive but it shouldn't the only reason why you wanted to become CRNA,AA-C,MDA. Do it because it's your passion and you love your job.
My Attention is really focus on the negative CRNAs who comes on this AA web site. Good day

69.154.240.116i still think you need to work on grammar and writing sentences. now you're using periods TOO much and make even less sense at times. example, "Even where I work just last week I told two of my anesthesia doctors(MDA). That I was going to the ASATT annual educational conference meeting. In San Francisco, California next month in October 2007."
we all know anesthesia docs are "MDA"s. so that right there is redundant, just like when you write AA program (anesthetist). anyways back to the sentence. those 3 sentences are fragments. lets separate them.
1)Even where I work just last week I told two of my anesthesia doctors(MDA).
you told them what?
2)That I was going to the ASATT annual educational conference meeting.
that just isnt a complete sentence.
3)In San Francisco, California next month in October 2007.so in SF, CA... whats going on there?
sorry to be so anal, (i dont use a lot of punctuation), but your writing needs a lot of improvement.

98.196.225.91Sorry If I'm not perfect like you RAM. I am aware That I have to improve on my grammar. As I said before as long as people can read and understand where I'm coming from I'm content. Until I take English 101. To improve my grammar. And yes I agree you are to anal that was really unnecessary. I would have not gone as far you did just to prove or to point out your(my) writing skills. I kind of find it insulting and embarrassing. But I can except constructive criticism. But don't expect my grammar to change any time soon. If you can't read or understand my writing then please do not read or respond to any of my postings. After all give me some credit for my positive postings and support for the AAs/AA-Cs profession.
If I recall this is a AA message board not a English class or how to embarrass people. This board is to voice your opinon. I don't recall this AA board saying anything about using perfect English or perfect Grammar only. As long as get my point across as I said earlier I'm content.
Have a good day RAM

71.204.117.39And back in first grade, we learned that the first word in a sentence begins with a capital letter. If you're going to criticize someone's writing skills, make sure your's are perfect.
