Frequently Asked Questions: ANCC Pharmacology CE

How many pharmacology hours do NPs need for ANCC renewal?

ANCC requires 25 hours of pharmacotherapeutics as part of your 75-hour certification renewal requirement. This applies to all nurse practitioner certifications (FNP-BC, AGPCNP-BC, AGACNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, etc.) and clinical nurse specialist certifications. This package provides all 25 hours in one purchase.

Which ANCC certifications does this package apply to?

This package satisfies the pharmacotherapeutics requirement for all ANCC NP and CNS certifications, including: FNP-BC, AGPCNP-BC, AGACNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, PNP-BC, WHNP-BC, ENP-BC, ACNP-BC, and all CNS certifications (ACCNS-AG, ACCNS-P, CNS-BC, PMHCNS-BC, etc.).

Is this package ANCC accredited?

Yes, 100% ANCC compliant. Renew Now CE is an ANCC Accredited Provider (P0557). All courses count toward your certification renewal and will be accepted by ANCC.

How quickly can I get my certificates?

Instantly. Once you complete each course and pass the assessment, your Certificate of Completion is immediately available for download. All four courses are self-paced, so you can start and finish on your own schedule.

Do I need to complete all 25 hours at once?

No. Each course is independent, and your progress saves automatically. Complete one course today, another next week—there's no deadline. Your access never expires.

Will this satisfy my state board requirements too?

ANCC accreditation is accepted by nursing boards in all 50 states. However, some states have additional pharmacology requirements for APRN license renewal beyond ANCC certification. Check your specific state board requirements or contact us for guidance.

Is there a specialty-specific package for my certification?

Yes! We offer tailored packages for Family Nurse Practitioners (FNP-BC) and Adult-Gerontology Primary Care NPs (AGPCNP-BC). The course content is identical—the specialty pages are tailored with certification-specific information. This general package serves all other certifications.

What if I only need some pharmacology hours?

All four courses are available for individual purchase if you've already completed some pharmacology CE elsewhere. However, this package provides the best value at $10/hour compared to individual course pricing.

State-Specific Pharmacology Requirements for APRNs

In addition to ANCC certification renewal, many states have separate pharmacology CE requirements for APRN license renewal. This package may help satisfy both requirements simultaneously:

  • Florida: 45 pharmacology hours for autonomous practice initial application
  • Texas: Pharmacology hours required as part of APRN renewal
  • California: Pharmacology recommended but not mandated
  • Michigan: 25 CE hours total for APRN renewal (pharm counts toward total)
  • Illinois: 50 CE hours for APRN renewal including pharmacology
  • Ohio: 12 hours advanced pharmacology for CNPs with Certificate to Prescribe
  • North Dakota: 15 pharmacology hours for NPs with prescriptive authority

Note: State requirements change. Verify current requirements with your state board of nursing before relying on any CE for license renewal.
