As a dedicated registered nurse (RN), you\u2019re not just a caregiver. You\u2019re also a lifelong learner committed to the highest standards of professional excellence. Because the nursing field isn\u2019t static, RNs must continue learning throughout their careers to keep their knowledge and skills current with evolving practice standards. Continuing education (CE) is the primary way RNs advance their knowledge and skills, but it\u2019s also a requirement for continued <\/span>RN licensure<\/span><\/a> in most states. Explore the intricacies of continuing education requirements for RN licensure renewal state by state in this comprehensive guide.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is Continuing Education?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Continuing education, sometimes called continuing nursing education (CNE), goes beyond the basics learned in nursing school and strengthens existing clinical skills. CE is counted in contact hours, with 60 minutes equaling 1 contact hour. The number of hours and topics vary by state.<\/span><\/p>\n

A nursing organization such as the American Nurses Credentialing Center, a subsidiary of the American Nurses Association, must accredit CE courses. Approved providers offer CE courses, but each state\u2019s Board of Nursing (BON) decides which courses count toward their CE requirements. Courses vary in cost, but many are available free of charge.<\/span><\/p>\n

State BONs that require continuing education usually tie it to their RN licensure renewal process, so RNs must complete a set number of contact hours during each renewal period. However, a handful of states don\u2019t require any CE. Besides state licensure, RNs may seek CE to satisfy requirements for maintaining employment or specialty certifications.<\/span><\/p>\n

How the Nurse Licensure Compact Impacts CE<\/b><\/h3>\n

The <\/span>Nurse Licensure Compact<\/span><\/a> (NLC) allows nurses to move more freely between states. While the NLC addresses licensure requirements and education standards, it doesn\u2019t include any mandates on CE. Each state currently sets its own continuing education requirements for renewing an RN license.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, if your primary state of residence (PSOR) is a Compact state and you qualify for a multistate license, you only must complete the CE requirements in your PSOR and not every state in which you practice. If your PSOR isn\u2019t part of the Compact or you don\u2019t qualify for a multistate license, you must hold multiple <\/span>single-state licenses<\/span><\/a> for each state where you physically practice or provide telehealth.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can hold numerous single-state licenses simultaneously, but you must complete each state\u2019s required CE for the renewal of each license. However, your CE credits may qualify for use in multiple states.<\/span><\/p>\n

To help you keep track of each state\u2019s CE requirements as of November 2023, Vivian created the following table to provide a quick rundown for you. We\u2019ve also included links to each state\u2019s Board of Nursing (BON) to help you quickly find more information. As the table demonstrates, some states have rigorous requirements, while others provide little to no direction regarding professional development.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
