I finished 12 ANCC-approved hours through an online Texas provider, including 3.0 pharm, and my PA renewal hits 10/31 — has anyone had hours rejected in an audit because the completion timestamp was CST or because a module was labeled “APRN pharmacology” while you’re an RN? Trying to avoid that weird loophole before I scramble for make-up credits.
But i’ve had PA accept ANCC hours from a TX vendor; the CST timestamp didn’t matter, but one audit flagged a cert that only said “APRN pharmacology” without listing RN contact hours. I emailed the provider and they reissued it showing the ANCC provider number, total contact hours, and my completion date, and it passed — can yours add that to the certificate?
PA mostly cares that the provider is ANCC‑accredited and that your cert spells out “nursing CE” and total hours — time zone won’t matter; if it only says “APRN pharmacology,” ask the vendor to reissue with RN wording. Also double‑check you’ve got the 2‑hr child abuse training from a PA‑DHS approved course, since that’s the one PA‑specific requirement: Department of Human Services | Department of Human Services | Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Want me to glance at the cert text before you submit?
