Certification

The National Board on Certification and Recertification of Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA) is a not-for-profit corporation organized under the laws of the state of Illinois. It consists of two councils — the Council on Certification of Nurse Anesthetists and the Council on Recertification of Nurse Anesthetists — who have autonomous authority to carry out their respective credentialing functions.

The Council on Certification of Nurse Anesthetists is responsible for the certification of registered nurse anesthetists who meet all the criteria for entry into practice as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). The Council is also responsible for the development and administration of the National Certification Examination.

For specific information refer to the Telephone Request List and the information on the Certification Resources section.
