Detailed Breakdown
  • Illinois APRN Standard Renewal Requirements: Illinois APRNs must complete 80 hours of Board-approved continuing education every two years. Up to 30 hours may be earned through presentations, research, publications, projects, or preceptorships; a minimum of 50 hours must be from CE programs in the APRN specialty, including mandatory content in pharmacology, opioid/substance abuse,

    ,
    implicit bias
    , and
    dementia care
    . Allowable CE formats include standard courses, research, presentations, and preceptorship if Board-approved. Renewal is every two years by May 31, with the full details and updates at the
    Illinois Nursing Licensure CE center

  • First-time renewal: APRNs are exempt from CE requirements at their first renewal following initial licensure.

---

  • Certification alternative: National advanced certification, if Board-approved, may count toward required hours as an equivalency, but does not exempt from the state-mandated specific topic CEs.

---

  • Other Certifications that nurses hold that needs to be renewed: Any advanced or specialty certifications used for practice must be kept current and, if Board-accepted, may count toward CE hours.
