Required to keep CCRN when accepted into school?

Published

Anyone know if you have to maintain your CCRN after being accepted into a program? Specifically TCU's CRNA program? Thanks.

I sure hope not. I'll start TCU's CRNA program in the spring and my CCRN will expire in sometime during the second year. I have an eery feeling that I'll have enough to focus on at that time without finding CE hours or retesting to maintain my certification.

No you don't need to keep it up.

Thanks. Discussed this with someone who went through the Program, it's up to you whether or not you want to continue renewing it.

There's really no point in keeping it up to date as when you graduate your degree trumps it anyway
