CE for APRNs and nurse practitioners
APRNs juggle up to four sets of rules: RN license, APRN license or certificate, prescriptive authority and national certification.
Pharmacology is its own column
Designated pharmacology hours are often a subset of a course's total. Track them separately.
The NLC does not cover APRN practice
A multistate RN license does not authorize advanced practice in another state. The separate APRN Compact has its own status; check aprncompact.com.
Certifier rules differ from board rules
ANCC and AANPCB set their own renewal requirements.
