Alternatives & exemptions. NP authorization renews with the Georgia RN license: renew the RN license, submit the APRN renewal application, attest to practice under Georgia law and pay the fee. The RN continuing competency (30 CE hours or another option) can be met by maintaining national certification/recertification.
Good to know. Rules set no APRN-specific CE hours. CNM authorization expires Jan 31 of odd years with the RN license. The board's Nursing Continuing Education page (sos.ga.gov, checked 2026-10-28) lists only RN and LPN requirements, no APRN-specific CE.
