Common CE Questions
Can I use these CEs to retest?
Yes. CEs earned after your initial test date can be used to retest. Just check the date on your certificate.
Can I use these CEs for license renewal?
APRNs: Requirements vary by state. Most boards require CEs to be completed after your license becomes active—check with your board to be sure.
RNs: Yes! SMNP Reviews is an ANCC-approved provider of nursing continuing professional development. That said, always confirm with your state board since each has its own rules.
Can I claim the same CE more than once?
Usually no. Most state boards don’t allow you to claim the same CE activity more than once during the same renewal period. When in doubt, check with your board.
How many CE hours do I need to retest for AANP?
According to the AANP Certification site:
You’ll need 15 contact hours of CE.
These can be in a general review course or focused on areas where you need improvement.
Our courses (Live Study Group, Complete Self-Prep, and 3-Course Bundle) meet this requirement.
