Frequently Asked Questions: FNP-BC Pharmacology CE

How many pharmacology hours do FNP-BCs need for ANCC renewal?

ANCC requires 25 hours of pharmacotherapeutics as part of your 75-hour FNP-BC renewal requirement. This package provides all 25 pharmacology hours, satisfying the complete pharmacotherapeutics requirement in one purchase.

Is this package accepted by ANCC for FNP-BC certification renewal?

Yes, 100% ANCC compliant. Renew Now CE is an ANCC Accredited Provider (P0557). All courses in this package count toward your FNP-BC 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.

What's the difference between this and the generic APRN package?

The course content is identical. This package page is tailored for Family Nurse Practitioners searching for FNP-BC specific renewal information. We also offer packages for Adult-Gerontology Primary Care NPs (AGPCNP-BC) and a general APRN package for all other certifications.

Can I get a receipt for employer reimbursement?

Yes. You'll receive an itemized receipt immediately after purchase containing your name, course names, contact hours, completion dates, and total cost—everything needed for employer CE reimbursement submission.

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.
