License renewal is every year on your birthday. And as of your birth month of 2011 you also have to get 45 CE's every 3 years. They do not require them to be sent in, but they will be doing random audits so you need to keep proof of CE's. No CE's obtained BEFORE your birth month in 2011 will count.

at this time there is no requirement to verify a number of practice hours or continuing education hours to renew the license.

rn (registered nurse)
