Licensure and Certification Requirements
Whereas accreditation applies to educational programs, licensure and certification applies to individuals. Our program prepares students for and makes them eligible to take the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA) National Certification Exam. Passing the NCE is required for employment as a CRNA and may also be required by each state to obtain licensure. Information regarding each state’s nurse practice act and regulatory requirements may be found here: https://www.aana.com/advocacy/state-government-affairs/state-legislative-and-regulatory-requirement
You can find additional requirements for practicing nurse anesthesia in each state on the National Council of State Boards of Nursing website.
