I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
Verified reviewEnjoyed this course! It squarely met my license renewal requirement as a physician. It was well-written, and an altogether enjoyable read.
Verified reviewState requirements for Louisiana Advanced Practice Registered Nurses
12 hours in pharmacology (for APRNs with Prescriptive Authority)
3 hours in on controlled substance prescribing (one-time, required when adding CDS authority)
Louisiana APRN Standard Renewal Requirements: Louisiana APRNs renew their license every two years by January 31, with renewal open from October 1 through December 31. They must complete at least 30 board-approved contact hours of continuing education unless they are nationally board-certified, which satisfies the CE requirement. APRNs with prescriptive authority have an annual requirement of 6 contact hours in pharmacotherapeutics, totaling 12 hours every two years, including a one-time 3-hour CE focused on controlled substances prescribing . Maintaining current national certification is essential, and documentation may be audited. Official renewal and CE rules are found on the Louisiana State Board of Nursing website .
---
First-time renewal: APRNs initially licensed are exempt from CE for the calendar year in which they were first licensed; new APRNs must maintain national certification. Louisiana State Board of Nursing CE Brochure
---
Certification alternative: Holding current national certification satisfies the CE requirement for RN renewal and APRN competency. Louisiana State Board of Nursing CE Brochure
---
Other Certifications that nurses hold that needs to be renewed: Advanced or specialty certifications must be maintained separately and documented during renewal; they cannot substitute for required CE unless approved. Louisiana State Board of Nursing CE Brochure
