An APN who does not renew faces automatic suspension of the certificate; a lapsed certification (after 30 days) may be restored by paying the $100 lapsed-certification fee plus the renewal fee per N.J.A.C. 13:37-5.5(c)(5). An APN on inactive status may not practice as an advanced practice nurse; a certificate automatically suspended for more than five years requires reapplication under 13:37-7.1.Verify with board

How compliance is checked

APN renewal requires the RN continuing education under N.J.A.C. 13:37-5.3 plus the national certifying agency's CE under N.J.A.C. 13:37-7.8; current national certification must be maintained and proof submitted with the application. No official CE-document retention period published.
