Reporting
Attestation of completed CE to the Board at renewal (subject to IC 25-1-4-3); retain records for PLA audit.

Statute text verified via a legal mirror (Justia); the official Indiana General Assembly statute page was not located, so the mirror is used as a disclosed fallback. The CE requirement attaches to renewal of APRN prescriptive authority (IC 25-23-1-19.7): 30 hours per 2 years including 8 pharmacology hours. The former 2-hour opioid prescribing/abuse requirement tied to controlled-substance registration renewal EXPIRED July 1, 2025 per the official Indiana PLA controlled-substance registration page and is excluded from this record. Prescriptive authority and the underlying RN license both expire October 31 of odd-numbered years. Indiana RN/LPN licenses have no CE requirement. National certification (or equivalence) must be maintained under IC 25-23-1-19.7(c)/19.5(d). First-time prescriptive-authority renewal: no CE if granted less than 12 months before expiration; 15 hours including 4 pharmacology if granted at least 12 months before.
