Required categories

Controlled-substance prescribing — 4 hours every 2 years for CRNP/CNM holding a Qualified Alabama Controlled Substances Certificate (ALBME QACSC renewal requirement; counts toward the 24 hours)
4h
Pharmacology specific to the CRNP/CNM's prescriptive practice — 6 of the 24 biennial hours (required for CRNP/CNM with prescriptive authority)
6h

The 6 pharmacology hours are part of (not in addition to) the 24 biennial RN CE hours. CRNP/CNM approval renews concurrently with the RN license each even year, and national certification must be maintained. The 4-hour QACSC controlled-substances requirement is an Alabama Board of Medical Examiners certificate-renewal requirement (QACSC renews annually Jan 1) whose hours count toward the 24 ABN hours. Collaborative-practice CE expectations referenced in ABN materials beginning in 2024 carried no confirmed fixed recurring hour requirement — UNCONFIRMED.
