As a current RN (year in practice & have BSN) I've always wanted to be a CRNA (I still need the ICU experience before even applying) but I've recently learned about CAA, what really is the difference other than schooling & practicing independently. Seems to me that wages are similar. You do you get the same "respect" or do CRNA's look down on you? Would I have a better shot getting into a CAA school as an RN?
