I'm sorry I have to disagree with you true there are only 16 states where AAs-C can work, but thats changing If you think about It how many Hospitals are in the state of Florida,Texas,Ohio, or Georgia? there are hundreds and thousands of hospital in each states and AAs-C are coming in high numbers. starting annually salary for an AAs-C or with a few years experience is $130,000 to $190,000 full time with benefits $210,000 in my op-ion It's another way for CRNAs not all to keep AAs-C DOWN because they feel threaten by AAs and their Skills and taking their JOBS AWAY It's all politics AAs,-C/CRNAs both come out of schools with Masters Degrees in Anesthesiology and both are highly skilled as practitioners so whats the PROBLEM? Get over it, It's about the PATIENTS "FIRST" If you want to go to AA school and It's what you want then do it. address to the CRNA if you are Shame on you try working together. this person may not want to be a nurse.
