You can take the NCE up to four times within one year following the completion date of your nurse anesthesia educational program. If you do not pass within that first year, you will only have up to four more times within one more year to take and pass the NCE. There are no required waiting periods between individual exam attempts in a given year. You cannot schedule your retake exam with your previous eligibility notification. A new online NCE application must be submitted.
