National Licensure & Practice Authority Compliance Matrix
Per federal public disclosure requirements, La Salle University’s Post-BSN to DNP Nurse Anesthesia curriculum satisfies the educational criteria for professional licensure in all 50 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico. Because the curriculum is fully accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs (COA), graduates are uniformly eligible to take the National Certification Examination (NCE) administered by the NBCRNA.
Important Note: While the educational requirements are met nationwide, individual jurisdictions govern non-educational prerequisites (e.g., criminal background checks, fingerprinting, jurisprudence exams, and state fees) as well as the clinical scope of practice authority.
