- •Keep NBCRNA Continued Professional Certification (CPC) requirements current
Why Nurse Anesthetist?
Plan and deliver anesthesia care across surgical, obstetric, and procedural cases within the practice model the facility uses.
Hospital ORs, surgery centers, obstetric units, and procedural suites across the state post CRNA roles.
Call burden and post-call time change what an offer is worth, so compare them alongside the base rate.

Licensure and practice rules in California
AANP classifies California as a restricted practice state. California NPs generally practice under standardized procedures developed collaboratively with physicians and furnish drugs and devices under physician supervision. NPs who complete a transition to practice in California of three full-time equivalent years or 4,600 hours can be certified to practice without standardized procedures in a group setting with a physician, and usually after at least three more years in good standing, in an independent setting.
California is not a Nurse Licensure Compact member, so out-of-state RNs apply for a California RN license by endorsement.
Applications, fees and renewal rules come from the California Board of Registered Nursing.
CRNA certification is administered by NBCRNA.
