Currently the BON is receiving an abundance of  applications for  APRN autonomous practice registration. They are asking for patience from all the applicants due to the rigorous time consuming process involved. They have offered  some  helpful hints:

1. Graduate-level semester hours - the law requires them to be within 5 years before applying for the registration.  Please do not send transcripts that are older than the 5 year time period. 

2. CE documentation for the equivalency; if Pharmacology or Differential Diagnosis (or the other terms referenced for it on our website - advanced health assessment, critical thinking, diagnostic reasoning) isn't in the CE course title, the applicant needs to supply a course description for review by the processor.  And the CE courses must have been taken within 5 years before applying for the registration.
