The new recertification program for nurse anesthetists beginning January 1, 2015.
At the AANA Annual Meeting in Boston, the NBCRNA unveiled a draft of the Continued Professional Certification (CPC) program developed over the past three years. The intent of the recertification process is to ensure that the CRNA credential represents an acknowledged commitment to excellence, and continues to distinguish us from others in the field.
The proposal is in draft form. To accommodate major changes to our website, the official comment period for the proposed changes is scheduled to start September 6, 2011 and runs through November 14, 2011. However, many of you already have written us with questions and comments, some supportive, others challenging the need for change, and most simply asking for more information. We have posted answers to the most frequently asked questions at www.nbcrna.com. We welcome your thoughts prior to the official comment date via email at recertification@nbcrna.com.
