Montana CRNA Licensing Process

To practice as a CRNA, a provider must hold an active MT RN license or RN license with a multistate designation from a compact state.

If you currently hold an RN license with a multistate privilege in a compact state, you do not need a license in Montana to practice. (If you do not know your status, you can check it here: https://nursys.com/.)
