To maintain your DNS-CT certification, you must recertify every two years. Keep your DNS-CT credential in good standing by submitting your recertification application. Begin the application process by purchasing this application fee. After purchase, you will be asked to attest your completion of the following required elements:

• Earned 50 hours of continuing education (CEs) in the last two years
  • At least 25 hours must be in subject areas aligning with the DNS-CT program body of knowledge domains.
  • The remaining 25 hours can be for any healthcare-approved continuing education that meets licensure requirements.
• Hold a valid Registered Nurse (RN) license

Save the documentation to support your continuing education credits. AAPACN conducts random audits of renewal applications. If your application is selected for audit, you will be required to submit all supporting documents. Please maintain a copy of your renewal application and the supporting certificates and other documents for the entire two-year certification period in order to satisfy any audit requests.

Note: Purchasing recertification materials does not extend the expiration date of your credential.

If you do not meet the recertification requirements by the expiration date of your certification, or if you allow your DNS-CT certification to lapse, you will no longer be entitled to use the DNS-CT credential. If you want to regain your certification after your expiration date, you will be required to retake and pass the final exams for the complete ten-course DNS-CT certification program.
