Debbie, my best advice to you is to use the job description of a Certified Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). In the US, AA's do the EXACT same duties as CRNAs and our salaries are identical. There are plenty of websites that offer descriptive listings of what a CRNA does (including this one). Additionally, the Veteren's Administration (VA) is a federal government agency that has posted a job description for AA's. The link is in the list of posts on this message board. Hope that helps...
