I passed the NCLEX in 2021 and got my AZ RN license in 2021 as well. I got my CA RN license May 2023 and I'm due for renewal this year due to my birthday. However, I'm confused if I need the 30 CEUs or just the implicit bias class? I see this on one page of the Breeze website:
During the first two years immediately following initial licensure in California or other jurisdictions, licensees shall be exempt from completion of the continuing education requirements specified in Title 16, California Code of Regulations Section 1451, with the exception of the Implicit Bias requirement.
And then I also see this on the Breeze website:
In accordance with AB 1407 (Burke, Chapter 445, Statutes of 2021), starting January 1, 2023 a licensee still within the first 2 years of holding their license, immediately following their initial licensure, must complete one hour of direct participation in an implicit bias course offered by a continuing education provider that has been approved by the Board of Registered Nursing.
That last paragraph confuses me because I've technically had a RN license for more than 2 years but I've never renewed either AZ or CA license before so I'm not sure if I'm exempt from the 30 CEUs? Any help would be appreciated as we all know it's nearly impossible to get a hold of the Board.
