I can respect that Pete and I appreciate your honesty also keep in mind I'm sure the majority of people on here are either AA-S(student)or health care providers on all levels when that have direct patient contact. In fairness they have a right to be on here voicing their opinion when it comes to their future as anesthetist(AA-C) allied health profession.
And your right CRNAs are very skilled at what they do, but so are AA-Cs they are very skilled at what they do too as allied health profession anesthetist RCP, PA-C, RRT, Cer.AT, CCP, PM, EMT and a RN all eight professionals holding a Bachelor's of Science Degree whether it's in Health, Chemistry, Biology, and Nursing etc.
What about the nurse that's an RNAA-C?..are you saying that he/she are not skilled at what they do because there not a CRNA?. In reality he/she are certified, are a registered nurse, and a anesthetist. They will never lose those skills they apply it everyday as a nurse & allied health anesthetist combine the best of both professions.
