Details

The APRN must maintain the underlying RN license; an RN lapse automatically lapses the APRN and terminates RXA prescriptive authority. CE is reported through CE Broker. Prescriptive-authority detail verified on the Board's RXA page: https://wvrnboard.wv.gov/licensing/prescriptive-authority
