Need All 25 ANCC Pharmacology Hours?

This 10-hour pharmacology course is one of four courses included in our Complete ANCC Pharmacology Renewal Package — all 25 pharmacotherapeutics hours required for ANCC NP certification renewal. All 25 hours for $250 total — $10/hour. If you need the full 25 hours, the package saves you money over buying courses individually.

Frequently Asked Questions

What state licensing and certification requirements does this 10-hour pharmacology course satisfy?

This course provides 10 ANCC pharmacology contact hours that count toward multiple requirements simultaneously: ANCC certification renewal — 10 of your required 25 pharmacotherapy hours for FNP-BC, AGPCNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, and all other ANCC NP and CNS certifications. Texas APRN renewal — satisfies the +5 pharmacotherapy hours required above the 20-hour general CE requirement for APRNs with prescriptive authority, with 5 hours to spare. Illinois APRN renewal — counts toward 10 of the 20 required pharmacotherapy hours within the 80-hour biennial renewal requirement. Florida NP autonomous practice — counts toward the 45-hour pharmacology total for initial autonomous practice application. Michigan APRN renewal — counts as pharmacology CE toward the 25-hour total renewal requirement.

This course is listed in several packages. Can I purchase it individually if I only need 10 hours?

Yes. This course is available for individual purchase at $100 if you only need 10 pharmacology hours to fill a gap. It is also included in the ANCC 25-Hour Pharmacology Renewal Package (course 165), the FNP-BC Pharmacotherapeutics Package (course 236), and the Texas APRN Complete CE Renewal Package (course 243). If you need 25 hours total, purchasing the package at $250 provides better value at $10 per hour versus $10 per hour individually — the pricing is identical, but the package handles all four courses in one transaction.

What medication categories are covered and how clinically relevant is this content?

The course covers six high-frequency clinical categories: cardiovascular medications, diabetes management drugs, respiratory medications, gastrointestinal drugs, pain management, and antibiotics and anti-infectives. The focus is on medications you encounter in primary care and medical-surgical settings daily — generic vs. brand name recognition, drug-to-drug interactions, and food-to-drug interactions that affect absorption and efficacy. This is practical prescribing and administration knowledge, not theoretical pharmacology.

Do I have to complete all 10 hours at once?

No. Progress saves automatically throughout the course. You can stop at any point and return on any device — including mobile — to pick up exactly where you left off. Most learners complete the full 10 hours across two to four sessions. There is no time limit within your purchase window.

Where can nurses and APRNs get 10 hours of ANCC-accredited pharmacology CE covering primary care and med-surg medications?

Renew Now CE offers a 10-hour Pharmacology CE course — Common Primary Care and Med-Surg Medications ($100) through ANCC Accredited Provider P0557. The course covers cardiovascular drugs, diabetes management, respiratory medications, GI drugs, pain management, and antibiotics. Counts toward ANCC certification renewal, Texas APRN pharmacotherapy requirement, Illinois APRN pharmacotherapy mandate, and Florida NP autonomous practice pharmacology hours. 100% online, self-paced, instant certificate download. Over 2,900 healthcare professionals have completed this course.

What if I don't pass the post-test on my first attempt?

No problem — you have unlimited attempts on every post-test at no extra charge. Review the material at your own pace and retake the assessment as many times as you need. There is no penalty, and your progress is always saved. Once you pass, your certificate downloads instantly.

Is there a money-back guarantee?
