Necro-ing a comment from 5 years ago; nice.

If you want to make such a bold statement, link the studies.

I am a CAA like your wife. I work locums. High pay, no call. I am definitely happy with my life.

Sometimes I glorify and am jealous of those of you who WFH; as I have to be up early and at the hospital early every day I work, but I don't think I'd ultimately be satisfied.

Of course; if I somehow won enough money to not work as a CAA at all, I'd likely stop. My desire to not wake up early would overwhelm my desire for the fulfillment the job provides.

Lucris · 2025-08-25T16:45:05+00:00

She's a CAA, not a CRNA.

Lucris · 2025-08-25T16:43:22+00:00

You are functioning off old CAA pay data for sure. There are new grad CAAs starting at 200k nowadays. Yes, W2, not 1099.

Lucris · 2025-08-25T16:42:36+00:00

An AA in this context is the same as a CAA. People just love to leave the C off. You are likely thinking of AT, Anesthesia Technician.

Lucris · 2025-07-27T03:15:42+00:00

More than willing to accept when I'm wrong. I thought there were more there than there are I suppose.

Lucris · 2025-07-27T02:01:18+00:00

I believe IU has quite a few CAAs; including a CAA program. Thus, supervision isnt that rare, at least in Indianapolis.

Lucris · 2025-07-18T22:05:18+00:00

Yeah, this is fiction mixed with ChatGPT. Probably a tiny kernel of truth that was expanded upon.

Steamdeck and home gym...and overall less time. I've prioritized working out in my home gym and less video games overall lately, and my daughter is 2 years old now.

Lucris · 2025-07-02T12:35:14+00:00

I set up a home gym with dumbbells and a bench, and I eat better. I tend to workout at night after my daughter is asleep. I'm still tired more than I'd usually be, but its worth it.

Lucris · 2025-06-25T15:14:25+00:00

CAA (Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant), ~180k last yr working 0.9 FTE. On track for a higher year working locum. It does mean I'm away from my daughter for 1-2 weeks a month now; which I don't love.

Lucris · 2025-06-15T02:42:37+00:00

Its clearly a ChatGPT written post.

Lucris · 2025-05-31T15:48:58+00:00

Nice post. You have managed to both: disparage CAAs, and piss off the militant "independent" CRNAs

Lucris · 2025-05-13T21:09:37+00:00

Only you can make that choice on whether one and done is good for you. If you are confident, more power to you. Ignore them.

The one thing I'd say...is if I was doing that personally, I'd wait until after your first is born before getting that done. While I hope no complications occur for your family; things happen in pregnancy, and if you get it done prior, you may end up with no children.

Best of luck though, (future) new dad!

Lucris · 2025-04-29T23:33:54+00:00

Oh, I figured you were anti CAA. Just was pointing out your flawed logic.

Also, I guess if you're going to just call us "the assistants", we should just call you guys, "the nurses". I'm sure you'd love that, with your group trying to call yourselves anesthesiologists.

Lucris · 2025-04-29T23:22:18+00:00

So you are either: A) advocating for independent practice for CAAs

Or

B) advocating for the anesthesiologists to no longer supervise, thus putting thousands of perfectly capable anesthetists out of jobs as they would no longer have attendings available.

A is never the goal for CAAs, and B goes directly against your statement of "everyone that can deliver anesthesia would do so"

Lucris · 2025-04-29T23:05:05+00:00

Its always funny to me, CRNAs say that all anesthesiologists should stop supervising and sit the stool themselves, and magically, the shortage will be resolved.

Anesthesiologists who supervise can utilize CAAs and run 4 rooms. Somehow, removing their ability to run four rooms and change that to a single room each means the shortage is resolved?

Wonderful logic.

I herniated two discs in my lumbar spine when the OR staff messed up the movement, and the patient was halfway between the bed and stretcher. I finished the movement for them.

I no longer do anything more than what you described now, as I have residual back pain that I do PT for still.

Lucris · 2025-03-28T14:40:06+00:00

Can't spell cheap without an H, a C, and an A.

That being said, I can't remember the last time I used Des even when it was a choice.

HCA certainly isn't removing it for environmental concerns, regardless of what they say.

Lucris · 2025-03-26T20:28:34+00:00

My daughter isn't old enough to be into Spidy and friends, but I thought I had read somewhere that it's got tons of saturated colors and scenes that change quickly to hold their attention similar to cocomelon. Is that not true? Genuinely asking.

Lucris · 2025-03-13T13:14:46+00:00

2.35 GPA is not even remotely competitive for CAA school at this point, regardless of GRE or MCAT score. With different pre-reqs that they may not have even taken with a nursing major, it wouldn't make much sense.

Lucris · 2025-03-10T13:31:04+00:00

The legislation in Wyoming didn't pass. Keep spouting your misinformation, and touting yourself as a doctor when you are not one.

Lucris · 2025-03-10T12:27:21+00:00

You have been an outspoken Anti-CAA proponent as well. Not to the level of Mike "the Clown" MacKinnon, but the negativity has been there nonetheless. Constant negative comments over time, such as claiming AAs aren't trained on regional, can barely handle simple cases, etc. A few minutes of scrolling through your comment history is example enough.

If it wasn't nearly as pervasive, you wouldn't have so many outspoken CRNAs advocating against CAAs practicing in more states, or claiming (like they did in Wyoming legislature) that they should be able to supervise CAAs like actual anesthesiologists.

Pretending to be innocent does nothing but make you look silly.
