CRNFA Reactivation
If you choose inactive status and then wish to renew your CRNFA certification, you must meet all of the recertification eligibility requirements in effect at that time within the inactive period. Inactive status does not allow the CRNFA additional years to accrue contact hours (the original recertification period plus the inactive period). The contact hours must be accrued within a five-and-a-half-year period.
Your CRNFA certification will be reactivated upon submission of a completed recertification application form and recertification fee. If you choose inactive status in 2008, the earliest you would be eligible to recertify is January 1, 2009.
You may choose to reactivate your CRNFA certification after only one year of inactive status, or you may choose to stay inactive for the full three-year inactive status cycle. Again, your contact hours must be accrued within the five-and-a-half-year period just prior to your new active date. To calculate this, count back five years from the new recertification date.
For example, Jane Doe is due to recertify in 2008 but decides to go inactive on July 1, 2008. (Her original recertification period was from January 1, 2003, through June 30, 2008.) Using contact hours, she meets the requirement of being employed at some time within the two years immediately before applying for her RNFA recertification in 2009. Her contact-hour–accrual period must fall between January 1, 2004, and June 30, 2009.
Remaining Inactive
You will be mailed a recertification application in the year 2011. You can choose to either remain inactive for one additional three-year inactive cycle or reactivate your CRNFA by following the recertification policies in effect at that time.
