CE for registered nurses
RN renewal requirements are set state by state. Some states count hours, some mandate specific topics without an hour total, and some do both.
Start with your board
Find your renewal cycle and topic list on your board's page. Our state directory links every board's NCSBN listing and has reviewed guides for California, Florida, Texas, New York and Pennsylvania.
Separate general hours from mandated topics
Many states require named courses from approved providers. A library's size says little about whether it covers those exact topics.
Verify reporting yourself
Even when a provider reports for you, check your own record before renewing.
