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.

Yes. Please refer to Nurses/Advanced Practice Nurses CE Requirements, Accreditations & Approvals - NetCE for state-specific requirements.
Can CE providers register my completed credits directly with my certifying board?
No. Typically it is the responsibility of the APRN to submit proof of completed continuing education credits to their certifying board. However, certificates of completion are provided and may be used for documentation.
NetCE does report APRN credit for state licensing boards who participate in CE Broker.
What if I hold multiple APRN certifications across different specialties?
If you hold multiple APRN certifications, you will need to meet the continuing education requirements for each certification.

Where can I learn more about my Nurse Practitioner state license renewal requirements?
