Unable to obtain prescriptive authority due to time gap. Please suggest any advanced pharm classes!

I graduated from my APRN program in 2018. I took my boards and applied for licensure, and have kept that up yearly with required CEUs. Due to some unfortunate life circumstances, was not able to pursue my APRN career until recently. I have accepted a job, and preparing to apply for prescriptive authority once I had my collaborative practice agreement (unable to do so until that point) and disheartened to learn that I won't meet eligibility due to my pharmacology course being over 5 years. Does anyone have recommendations for an online pharm course for a non-degree seeking student?  Hopefully one that is quick or starts soon? I have been frantically searching. I may not be able to keep this job and I understand, but I still need to do this so I can move forward with any job. Thanks!

Are you in California? one poster from another thread stated that West Coast University in Irvine offers this online for those in California whose Pharm Course was over 5 years ago.

I'm not, but thank you so much for the info. I'm still going to look at that school and see what its class offerings are in case it would work. I have found university of Phoenix to have one that will fit my state board's criteria, and can start fairly soon, so it's likely where I'll have to enroll.
