Advanced practice nurses (APNs) need continuing education (CE) for recertification. This study surveyed all 50 state boards of nursing to clarify CE requirements for APN state renewal and national recertification.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • Continuing education (CE) is crucial for advanced practice nurses (APNs) to stay current and meet recertification mandates.
  • Existing CE opportunities have grown, but clarity on state and national certification requirements remains a challenge for APNs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and outline the specific state-level continuing education (CE) requirements for advanced practice nurses (APNs).
  • To provide a comprehensive overview of CE needs for both state renewal and national recertification for APNs.

Main Methods:

  • A telephone survey was conducted in July 1998 targeting all 50 state boards of nursing.
  • Data regarding CE requirements were collected via telephone or facsimile transmission from all responding states.
