University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Nursing Nurse Anesthesia DNP Pathway Coordinator Susan McMullan, PhD, CRNA, has been elected to the Board of Directors of the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA).
Her three-year term begins in August 2018.
The NBCRNA Board of Directors comprises nurse anesthetists who are recognized as leaders in nurse anesthesia, as well as physicians who have a current working relationship with nurse anesthetists.
“I am honored to have been selected for this important role,” said McMullan. “I hope my efforts will benefit the nurse anesthesia profession now and in the future.”
Notably, the UAB School of Nursing’s 2017 MSN in Nurse Anesthesia Specialty Track graduating class achieved a 100 percent first-time pass rate on the National Certification Exam (NCE) administered by the NBCRNA.
