	Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA)
		Nurse anesthesia, which has also been referred to as "the first clinical nursing specialty", was developed in the late 1800’s at the request of surgeons who were looking for a solution to the high morbidity and mortality rates associated with anesthesia.(AANA, On-line, 1999)
		Surgeons felt that nurses would be able to give the patients undivided attention throughout surgical procedures, and thus became the professional discipline of nurse anesthesia.
		One could not compare supervised CRNAs to unsupervised CRNAs however, but using the information from the history of CRNAs, nurses were predominately the ones who administered anesthesia from the late 1800's to the middle of this century and during that time, the mortality and death rates were not high.
