Kan. Admin. Regs. § 60-11-113 - License renewal
(a) Advanced
practice registered nurse licenses shall be renewed on the same biennial cycle
as the cycle for the registered professional nurse licensure renewal, as
specified in K.A.R. 60-3-108.
(b)
On and after January 1, 2013, each individual renewing a license shall have
completed the required 30 contact hours of approved continuing nursing
education (CNE) related to the advanced practice registered nurse role during
the most recent prior license period. Proof of completion of 30 contact hours
of approved CNE in the advanced practice nurse role may be requested by the
board. Contact hours accumulated in excess of the 30-hour requirement shall not
be carried over to the next renewal period.
(c) The number of contact hours assigned to
any offering that includes a recognized standard curriculum shall be determined
by the board.
(d) Any individual
attending any offering not previously approved by the board may submit an
application for an individual offering approval (IOA). Credit may be given for
offerings that the licensee demonstrates as having a relationship to the
practice of the advanced practice registered nursing role. Each separate
offering shall be approved before the individual submits the license renewal
application.
(e) Approval shall not
be granted for identical offerings completed within the same license renewal
period.
(f) Any individual renewing
a license may accumulate 15 contact hours of the required CNE from instructor
credit. Each presenter shall receive instructor credit only once for the
preparation and presentation of each course. The provider shall issue a
certificate listing the number of contact hours earned and clearly identifying
the hours as instructor credit.
(g)
Fractions of contact hours may be accepted for offerings over 30
minutes.
(h) All CNE accumulated
for APRN license renewal shall also be applicable to the renewal of the
registered professional nurse license.
(i) Any APRN whose initial licensure is
before July 1, 2023 may submit evidence of APRN certification to the board upon
license renewal.
(j) An APRN shall
provide proof of malpractice insurance coverage when renewing the license if
the APRN renders professional clinical services, unless the advanced practice
registered nurse meets one of the exceptions listed in K.S.A. 65-1130 as
amended by 2022 S Sub for HB 2279, sec. 1, and amendments thereto.
