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.

I 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.

I 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.

Detailed Breakdown

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.
