Reporting
Proof of CE and current national certification submitted with the DCCA PVL renewal; board may request documentation for verification.

Verified on the official DCCA APRN renewal page. The 30 CE hours / 8 pharmacology hours are tied to prescriptive authority, not imposed on all APRNs. UNCONFIRMED: secondary sources report APRN-Rx (prescriptive authority) expires December 31 of odd-numbered years, separate from the June 30 RN/APRN recognition date — not confirmed on the official DCCA renewal page. The APRN license cannot be renewed unless the Hawaii RN license is also renewed; both are on the same biennial cycle. APRNs with prescriptive authority (APRN-Rx), and APRNs initially licensed by national certification, must show current national certification in their practice specialty.
