In 2004, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) moved to change the educational requirement for advanced practice nursing (APN) to a doctoral level degree by 2015.

Hoyem, PhD Lorraine Jordan, PhD, CRNA, CAE, FAAN Valentina V. Lukyanova, PhD Trinidad Legaspi, JD, LLM Anesthesia delivery models have long been shaped by workforce trends, state and federal regulations, economic incentives driven by reimbursement, and the normative preferences of provider and facility organizations. In recent years, there has been a significant shift toward greater use of more efficient certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA)-oriented delivery models observed at the national level Medicare data. However, given the wide range of these factors across states and regions, this shift has likely occurred at an uneven pace. This study analyzes the […] ## Pages - [Podcast](https://snapcrna.com/resources-podcast/): ARTICLES   - [Thank You For Visiting Us At NTI](https://snapcrna.com/thank-you-for-visiting-us-at-nti/): Here’s a quick message just for you—plus a sneak peek at one of our info sessions. - [Newsletter](https://snapcrna.com/newsletter/) - [Terms of Use](https://snapcrna.com/terms-of-use/): 1.
