Continuing Education requirements and licensure renewal

[suzanne4, RN]

The majority of the states in the US have a requirement for continuing education hours that must be obtained in order to renew your license. They need to be hours that are approved by the US BONs and they hours that are done in programs in your country normally do not meet the requirements for the CE hours. Most are now requiring 30 hours every two years to be done when the license is renewed. Some do not have the requirement for the first renewal, but then for all of the subsequent licenses that are issued to you.

Please use this thread only as a site to list programs that are available for you to be completed on-line and that offer CEs that you can complete out of the US. Pleaae include the web address for the site as well as the cost.

Do not use this thread to post any questions about the CE requirements, but only for posting specific sites that offer the required CEs. You will also need to check with your BON to see if the hours are accepted by them.
