At its October 2018 meeting, the COA reviewed data provided by the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA). The data provided by the NBCRNA included a program-by-program listing of all successful NCE takers and identified the number of attempts required for each graduate to pass. Using this information, the COA determined that 96% of test-takers who were successful on their first or second attempts were able to pass within 60 days of program completion. Following careful consideration of these findings and a review of the impact of implementing Method 3 on programs, the COA determined that the timeframe for including second-time successful testers should be established at 60 days from the date of their programs’ completion.
