At the completion of the supervised practice, the preceptor must submit a statement assessing the applicant's knowledge and ability as a certified registered nurse anesthetist. The lapsed authorization will not be reinstated unless the preceptor states that the applicant has demonstrated competence to practice as a certified registered nurse anesthetist.

At the completion of the supervised practice, the preceptor must submit a statement assessing the applicant's knowledge and ability as a certified registered nurse anesthetist.

At the completion of the supervised practice, the preceptor must submit a statement assessing the applicant's knowledge and ability as a certified registered nurse anesthetist.
