CRNA Practice Law & Requirements in South Carolina

South Carolina offers an attractive environment for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists looking to advance their careers. With a growing healthcare landscape, the demand for CRNAs is on the rise, particularly in urban centers like Charleston and Greenville. These cities feature well-respected hospitals and healthcare systems that provide a range of anesthesia services, allowing CRNAs to engage in diverse and challenging clinical experiences. Competitive salaries and benefits further enhance the appeal, making it a financially rewarding place to work.

It may be important to consider that currently CRNAs in South Carolina are required to practice under the supervision of a physician. However, House Bill 3785, which is currently being considered, would remove the state-mandated supervision requirement for CRNAs and give hospitals the flexibility to use CRNAs in ways that best meet the needs of their communities

Education and Certification

  • Educational Requirement: CRNAs must complete a doctoral degree from an accredited nurse anesthesia program.
  • Certification: After graduation, candidates must pass the National Certification Examination (NCE) administered by the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA).

Licensure

Scope of Practice

  • Autonomy: South Carolina does not allow CRNAs to practice independently. CRNAs must be supervised by a licensed physician.
  • Prescriptive Authority: CRNAs have the authority to prescribe medications related to anesthesia and patient care.

State Regulations

CRNAs should stay informed about changes in state laws and regulations affecting their practice. For current information, check out the South Carolina Association of Nurse Anesthetists and South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation as well as other relevant professional organizations.
