  5. Doctorate for Entry into Nurse Anesthesia by 2025

    shandsburnRN-CRNA replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would think that if you earned your CRNA prior to 2025, you 'd be grandfathered in. Did the article say that all CRNA's no matter when your degree was earned had to have a doctorate by 2025, do you...
