Nursing CE Requirements by State
01 In short
Continuing education rules for nurses (RN and LPN/LVN) are set by each state's licensing board. Our table covers 52 jurisdictions; 15 of them (Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, …) set no state hour count for at least one license type (some rely on national certification instead), the rest require a set number of hours per renewal cycle, often with mandatory topics. Open your state for the exact rule, the law behind it and a remaining-hours calculator.
