Alternatives & exemptions. NP specialty certification renewal requires recertification or maintained national certification within the 2 years before the application (ANCC, PNCB, NCC, AANP, ONCC, AACN Certification Corporation).
Good to know. Specialty certification renews on the same schedule as the RN license. No NP-specific hours; the RN license still needs 25 hours per 2 years incl. 2 hours pain and symptom management (R 338.10601).
