NOTICES
CE Transfer Issues - We are aware that continued education (CE) credit transfer discrepancies are occuring in some CPC Applications. The NBCRNA is working collaboratively with the AANA to reconcile these differences. Thank you for our patience as we work to get this resolve. We will notify affected individuals when this is resolved.
2020 CPC Applications for certification renewal are open for CRNAs due to renew their certification by July 31, 2020--which has now been extended to November 30, 2020. Watch your mail for notification or log in on the NBCRNA home page to begin the application process if you have earned all requirements.
- For this first CPC cycle, you will need 60 Class A credits and 40 Class B credits (or can use extra Class A credits over the required 60 towards the Class B requirement).
- No Core Modules are required in this first cycle.
- There is no CPC Assessment component for your current 4-year cycle, just the Class A and B credit requirement.
- There are 20 activity categories that count as Class B credit. View the Class B Table for a complete listing.
The CPC Program supports lifelong learning and the strong CRNA credential, protecting your ability to continue practicing as a CRNA, and is designed to meet the APRN regulatory requirements of every state Board of Nursing.
The program also reinforces the validity and value of your CRNA credential, demonstrating to your patients, their families, and your employer that you meet the credentialing requirements designed to promote lifelong learning, help you maintain current anesthesia knowledge, and encourage patient safety— even as the health care environment constantly changes.
