Mandatory Continuing Education
APRNs with prescriptive authority shall complete five (5) contact hours of pharmacotherapeutics continuing education in the APRN’s area of certification each biennium prior to license renewal. Two (2) of the prescribing hours must contain information related to maintaining professional boundaries, substance abuse and misuse, prescribing rules, regulations, and laws that apply to APRNs in Arkansas (ASBN Rules, 17 CAR §123-207 (h)). To meet this requirement, you will need to complete the course Advanced Practice Nursing in Arkansas (2 contact hours) and Prescription Drug Abuse and Misuse (1 contact hour). These courses must be completed prior to the renewal of your license.
ASBN has developed two courses to meet these requirements. The mandatory courses are located on the CE Broker platform. You will need to register for your FREE CE Broker account to access the courses and tests.
