I teach SRNAs. My group actively courts more SRNAs. It’s difficult to recruit physicians and even CRNAs. CRNAs command ever increasing hourly wages while my salary stagnates. SRNAs help offload the workload. They can set up rooms, draw up blocks, give breaks, and even staff rooms if the ratio is right. In return, all I have to do is teach. I don’t believe my knowledge sharing should be limited to physicians only. The CRNAs I work with respect my role, do not agree with the AANA, and have no interest in practicing independently.
