During the final year(s) of your Nurse Practitioner (NP) national certification cycle, you'll typically need to complete a specific number of practice hours and continuing education (CE) credits to renew your certification. The specific requirements vary depending on the certification board (e.g., AANPCB, ANCC).
Who regulates the CE requirements for APRNs?
CE is regulated by state nursing boards. They set specific requirements for licensure renewal, including continuing education.
CE requirements to maintain national certification are determined by each certifying body. In addition, certifying bodies identify the requirements to obtain and maintain certification. National certification is often a requirement for licensure in many states, and maintaining national certification can often fulfill CE requirements.

NetCE does report APRN credit for state licensing boards who participate in CE Broker.
