State code further mandates that the program include discrete courses in pharmacology, assessment, and physiology; this has also been noted in the standards of the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).

Nursing Licensure in Nebraska

Advanced Practicing Nurses must begin their career like all nurses. They must first attend and complete a program recognized by the Nebraska Board of Nursing and pass the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) to achieve a Registered Nurse license. This allows essential nursing practice in Nebraska.

Nebraska then mandates that all registered nurses continue their education with CEU requirements due on their bi-yearly license expiration date. They must complete twenty contact hours during that time, ten of which must be formally approved. Up to four hours may consist of CPR or BLS courses.

Nebraska’s advanced practice nurses have their choice of practice in one of the following specialist positions:

Nurse practitioners already certified by these governing bodies are fortunate that Nebraska is a participating member of the national Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) statute, allowing them to simply apply for and receive identical nurse licensure from a state if already certified in a participating one. They are then required to participate in Nebraska’s continuing education requirements identically to all other current Nebraskan advance practitioners: forty contact hours in their specialty area every two years, including ten hours dedicated specifically to the area of pharmacotherapeutics.
