Certified Nurse Practitioners must become recertified every five years. They can meet this requirement by passing the national certification exam again or by meeting the clinical practice and continuing education requirements established for recertification. These requirements include a minimum of 1000 hours of clinical practice in the area of specialization and 75 contact hours of continuing education relevant to the area of specialization.
