    Re: Should I take CRNA or AA route? Archived Message

    Thanks for your advice, Max. That is a good point about the option of going to PA school if I ever did get tired of doing anesthesia. I hadn't thought of that option for some reason. Its not that I anticipate getting tired of doing anesthesia, its just that Im only 24 and the idea of doing any one thing for the rest of my life is difficult.

    It is encouraging for me to hear you say, "Keep in mind that AA job opportunities are only going to get better - not worse." If I were 100% sure of this, then I would go the AA route without question. After reading some of the posts on this message board, it seems that there are a lot of people who believe that AA's do not have the opportunities that CRNA's do and it kind of scared me. I am, however, leaning towards the AA route.
