To All CRNAs Who Recertify  In Odd Years

APN license renewal with the state of Illinois takes place in the even years.  All CRNAs who recertify with the Council on Recertification in odd years must be aware of the following: 

The state of Illinois requires 50 CE credits to renew the APN license.  These credits must be earned between May 2004-May 2006.

If you recertify with the Council on Recertification in the odd years, 40 CE credits must be earned from August 1,  2003 - July 31, 2005. 

This means that any CE credits earned in 2003 that can be used toward the CRNA recertification requirement WILL NOT qualify for use toward the 50 CE credits that the state of Illinois requires.

If you are interested in possibly aligning the CRNA recertifcation period with the APN re-licensure year, you MUST CONTACT the Council on Recertification.  Requests will be considered on an individual basis and all practice and CE credit requirements must be met.
