Hi I don't think It's about independents for right now from what I have observed Is that AA's-C have the right to practice in all states but most of your employers(CRNA's) are trying to stop AA's-C from practicing in every state. If that Is true then thats WRONG! again It's not about the CRNA's or AA's-C It's about the PATIENT FIRST not $$$signs AA's-C are just as qualified as CRNA's you both AA's-C/CRNA's are allied health profession and are excellent practitioners so what's the PROBLEM CRNA's? It's time to work as a TEAM not against each other. Thank you CRNA for you positive In put we appreciate It. Jay
