There's your answer majority of CRNAs not all feel threaten that AAs-C will eventually take their jobs, in other words as AAs-C become more popular and more states license AAs-C to practice and jobs become more competitive for CRNAs due to AAs-C applying for the same job but can save 5,000,10,000 or even 15,000 then what their paying CRNAs where AAs-C are doing the same exact job. some of the pay scale I saw on gaswork.com for CRNAs Is outrageous I feel AAs-C should be payed the same as CRNAs meaning IDENTICAL on every LEVEL the jobs are identical. And that's why most CRNAs don't want AAs-C license where taking their bread and butter. Keep fighting./Jay A.T.,C.N.A. Operating Room. Oh, and FIGHT for HIGHER PAY$$$ too. You AAs-C need to be on the SAME PAY SCALE AS CRNAs it's only RIGHT and FAIR.
