What do you think the payscale difference would be between an AA and a CRNA?

23. How do AA and NA pay scales compare?
When employed within the same department and when possessing the same job description and experience level within the anesthesia care team, AAs and NAs are normally compensated with identical salary and benefit packages.
"TEXAS AA LICENSING BILLS INTRODUCED!
On March 8, 2007, two identical bills were filed in the Texas state legislature which will allow AAs to become medically licensed in that state. AAs have been practicing in Texas under physician delegatory authority and by the consent of the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners for 10 years. By licensing AAs, the citizens of Texas will be assured of the continuation of quality and safe anesthesia provided to them by AAs practicing in the state."
What does this mean? I thought Texas was always one of the states that AAs were allowed to work in.
Um read the press release. They are allowed to work under physician delegated authority. This will give them formal license.

i dont see the point (of the CRNAs), AAs can already practice, AAs just want an official license. hopefully the bill passes and someday an AA program will open up here in Texas.
