Do you feel well-prepared for the National Certification Examination (NCE)? Are you looking for an additional resource to help prepare you for the Self-Evaluation Examination (SEE)? While studying for these exams (or any exam for that matter) may invoke anxiety, adequate exam prep will help you build confidence and achieve success.

That’s where we want to help! APEX Anesthesia Review was founded by CRNAs. We have the tools you need to prepare for the NCE and embark on your professional career as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).

The challenge behind CRNA boards

The CRNA boards are complex, meaning you shouldn’t rely on rote memorization to pass. Administered by the National Board of Certification & Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA), the NCE assesses one’s capability to deliver safe patient care, evaluating one’s knowledge after years of education, clinical experiences, and extensive study.

Fear of failure is understandable; however, 89.3% of first-time NCE candidates passed in 2024. With the appropriate CRNA board prep, you can also be successful on your initial attempt!

APEX Anesthesia’s Boards Bootcamp for CRNA board prep

Our two-day CRNA board review course will help you develop the confidence you need to sit for this stressful exam. Join us at one of our regional events near you to gain a fresh perspective on high-yield NCE content.

During this in-person learning experience, you will:

How to lay the groundwork before Bootcamp

Although not required, we recommend completing our online course at least once before the live event. The Boards Bootcamp is designed to supplement APEX’s online SRNA review course, helping students avoid the confusion caused by inconsistent NCE information between vendors. 

With the APEX Student Review Course, you’ll learn efficiently and enhance your critical thinking skills. It features:

  • Rapid and in-depth reviews in every lesson
  • More than 3,000 board-type questions
  • Thousands of flashcards and interactive elements
  • Illustrations, tables, and videos to engage all learning styles

And we recommend that you employ smart study strategies throughout your journey.

Solidify your knowledge after bootcamp

After attending the bootcamp, you should reinforce your understanding with an NCE question bank. We provide an add-on SmartBank with 1,250+ board-style NCE/SEE practice questions exclusively for APEX Student Course users. This will expose you to item types you’ll see on exam day, further refining your test-taking skills.

The SmartBank surfaces content weaknesses and strengths through the performance dashboard, provides content references from the Student Review Course for quick review, and has an app for you to learn from your Apple or Android device.

Plus, you can gain 1 year of access when you add on today. Just activate the SmartBank when you’re ready to start testing!
