The COA requires entry level into NA as doctoral prepared by 2025. That means all programs must be switched to doctoral by 2022 (BSN to DNP, MSN to DNP) Most programs will be BSN to DNP with the MSN to DNP for practicing CRNAs wanting to go back and get their doctorate. All current CRNAs will be grandfathered just like every other time an increase in education has been changed. The doctoral requirement is entry level or new CRNAs. Hope that clarifies things.
