Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs):"To function as a CRNA requires education, skills, and knowledge that most people do not have. Because courts, lawyers, and the public cannot understand what CRNAs do, the law puts them in the category of professionals. Professionals set their own standard of care. When courts need to know what the standard of care is, they get expert testimony. Testimony on the standard of care may arise not only in malpractice actions, but may occur in other contexts as well. For example, in disciplinary proceedings the conduct of a CRNA may be questioned and expert testimony will be necessary. Are there limits of a CRNA's expert testimony or the subject areas in which CRNAs may provide expert testimony?"

Cheryl Schosky, CRNA, MSN, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, Nurse Entrepreneur, Rexall Showcase International:"After receiving my BSN in 1986 and my MSN in anesthesia in 1992, I began what I thought would be my career until retirement. I worked hard to achieve my personal goals and be the best professional I could be. I was making a six-figure income and believed it would always exist and continue to grow over time. However, over the past 6 years Managed Care has dramatically changed health care for patients and professionals."

http://www.aana.com/about/qualifications.asp
******************************************************
Do nurse anesthetists demonstrate gender bias in treating pain? AANA J. 2003 June;71(3);206-9:"A major responsibility of the nurse anesthetist is providing adequate pain relief. Current research suggests that provider gender, as well as patient gender, may affect the clinical assessment and treatment of pain. Implications of the undertreatment of pain may be avoided if the anesthetist is aware of potential gender bias when approaching a given clinical situation."
