Mandatory topics

Indiana has no state-mandated topic requirements beyond the 0-hour total.

Atlas CME tracks each of these mandatory topics against your Indiana cycle automatically. Start tracking free →
Accepted credit

Credit must come from an organization accredited by the ACCME, AMA, Indiana Medical Association, or AAFP. ACGME residency or fellowship time accrues toward the requirement. Teaching or presenting accredited CME can satisfy a portion of required hours.

Credit systemNotes
NBCRNA Class A
NBCRNA Class A / MAC Ed credits maintain national certification required for APRN renewal.
Documentation & audit

Physicians are responsible for retaining CME documentation and producing it on request. Requirements include course title, dates, hours, sponsoring organization, and accrediting body.

Waivers & exemptions

A CRNA who could not complete the continuing education required for a renewal period may apply to the Indiana State Board of Nursing for a hardship waiver of all or part of the CE requirement. (This waiver provision is a general Indiana licensing-board hardship rule reached by any regulated practitioner; Indiana CRNAs currently have no state CE-hour requirement to waive — see conflictingInfo item 9 — so this row is retained for completeness/reversibility but is not presently operative for CRNAs.)

FAQ
How many state-level CE hours do Indiana CRNAs need?
None. RN renewal is by attestation, and APRN/CRNA renewal is satisfied by maintaining active NBCRNA national certification. Indiana's 30-contact-hour prescriptive-authority CE (848 IAC 5-1-3, with at least 8 hours in pharmacology) does not apply to CRNAs — IC 25-23-1-19.5(a) expressly excludes CRNAs from that prescriptive-authority program. Note: The prior IC 35-48-3-3.5 requirement for 2 hours of opioid prescribing/abuse CE for Controlled Substance Registration holders expired July 1, 2025 and is no longer in effect.
Does Indiana require NBCRNA certification for CRNA licensure?
Yes. NBCRNA initial certification is required for APRN/CRNA licensure, and active NBCRNA certification must be maintained for renewal.
Is Indiana part of the APRN Compact?
No. Indiana has not enacted the APRN Compact as of 2026. Indiana is a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) for the RN portion.
Where can I check my Indiana CRNA license renewal date?
License status and verification are available through MyLicense at mylicense.in.gov/everification/Search.aspx.
