✅ Who Should Take This Package?

This package is designed for:

• Arkansas APRNs with prescriptive authority
• Certified nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists
• APRNs who have completed or plan to complete the Board's Advanced Practice Nursing in Arkansas course
• APRNs in primary care, urgent care and family practice
• APRNs who want all 3 remaining pharmacotherapeutics hours in one place

✅ Does This Package Satisfy the Arkansas Requirement?

This package provides 3 contact hours of pharmacotherapeutics. Arkansas APRNs with prescriptive authority need 5 each biennium in their area of certification (17 CAR § 123-207(h)(1)). The other 2 hours must cover professional boundaries and Arkansas prescribing law, which the Board says APRNs meet with its own Advanced Practice Nursing in Arkansas course. That course is not included.

Each hour counts only if it falls within your area of certification. Your RN license also needs its own continuing education.

✅ Arkansas APRN Pharmacotherapeutics Requirements

Arkansas APRNs with prescriptive authority must complete 5 contact hours of pharmacotherapeutics continuing education in their area of certification each biennium (17 CAR § 123-207(h)(1)). Two of those hours must cover maintaining professional boundaries and the prescribing rules and laws that apply to Arkansas APRNs (17 CAR § 123-207(h)(2)); the Board states that APRNs meet that part by completing its own course, Advanced Practice Nursing in Arkansas. The Arkansas State Board of Nursing accepts continuing education approved by another U.S. board of nursing, as long as the certificate names the board that approved it. 1st Choice CE's courses are approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider Number CEP 18292, and every certificate says so.

• Pharmacotherapeutics: 5 contact hours each biennium, in your area of certification (17 CAR § 123-207(h)(1))
• Board course: 2 of the 5 hours on professional boundaries and Arkansas prescribing law, met by the ASBN's Advanced Practice Nursing in Arkansas course (17 CAR § 123-207(h)(2))
• RN license: Your RN license must also be renewed, with its own continuing education (15 contact hours, certification or an academic course)
• Reporting: You declare your CE at renewal and upload certificates only if audited (17 CAR §§ 121-702, 121-703)
• Records: Keep certificates for two renewal periods or four years (17 CAR § 121-705(c))

How this course helps: This package provides 3 pharmacotherapeutics hours. With the Board's 2-hour Advanced Practice Nursing in Arkansas course, you reach the 5 hours.

✅ When Do Arkansas Nurses Renew?

Arkansas nursing licenses renew every two years on a staggered schedule based on your birth date (17 CAR § 121-801; ASBN). The renewal link in the Arkansas Nurse Portal opens 60 days before your license expires.

Each license type renews separately. APRNs renew their RN license first, then their APRN license.

A license that isn't renewed by its expiration date lapses, and practicing on a lapsed license is illegal practice.

✅ How to Renew Your Arkansas Nursing License

1. Check your expiration date. Sign in to the Arkansas Nurse Portal to confirm your license type and expiration date.
2. Complete your CE. Finish all 3 courses in this package (3 pharmacotherapeutics hours) and the Board's Advanced Practice Nursing in Arkansas course during the biennium.
3. Renew online. Starting 60 days before your license expires, complete the renewal application in the Arkansas Nurse Portal.
4. Declare your CE. Affirm that you met the continuing education requirement. Don't upload certificates unless you're selected for an audit.
5. Pay the fee. Pay the renewal fee by card and save your receipt.
6. Keep your certificates. Keep them for two renewal periods or four years in case of an audit.
