Licensure as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) is regulated by individual states and is overseen by State Boards of Nursing. All 50 states require graduation from a COA accredited program and a passing score on the National Certification Exam (NCE) to obtain licensure and practice as a CRNA. The NCE is administered by the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA). Further information regarding the NCE can be obtained at https://www.nbcrna.com/initial-certification. The South College DNP Nurse Anesthesia Program (NAP) is a COA accredited program which aims to prepare graduates to sit for the NCE; however, graduation from the DNP NAP does not guarantee a passing score on the NCE. Some states have unique licensure requirements; these unique requirements are not associated with preparation in the South College DNP Nurse Anesthesia Program and must be met by the graduate.
