NBCRNA Class A | NBCRNA Class A / MAC Ed credits maintain the national certification that Idaho requires CRNAs to keep active as a condition of APRN licensure (Idaho Code § 54-1409(c)). This is a certifying-body obligation, not a state CE hour requirement. |

FAQ
How many state-level CE hours do Idaho CRNAs need?
None. Idaho imposes no state continuing education hour requirement for CRNA/APRN renewal. The current IDAPA 24.34.01 (effective March 28, 2023, after Idaho's zero-based rulemaking review) contains no CE section. APRN renewal requires a completed application, the renewal fee, and documentation of a peer review process under Idaho Code § 54-1411(2). Some secondary sources describe a "30 contact hours including 10 pharmacology" requirement — that reflects pre-2022 rules that were repealed and is no longer current.
Does Idaho require NBCRNA certification for CRNA licensure?
Yes. NBCRNA initial certification is required for APRN/CRNA licensure, and Idaho Code § 54-1409(c) requires CRNAs to maintain current national certification as a condition of continued licensure. The CE that maintains NBCRNA certification flows from NBCRNA's MAC program — Idaho does not add a separate state CE block on top.
Is Idaho part of the APRN Compact?
No. Idaho has not enacted the APRN Compact as of 2026. Idaho is a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) for the RN portion only.
Where can I check my Idaho CRNA license renewal date?
License status and verification are available through the DOPL license search at dopl.idaho.gov/license-search/.
