I have a question about CE. I have 2 RN licenses from FL and CA. I'm taking for ACLS class in CA and I wonder if I can take that CE hours for both CA and FL license or just for CA. I also wonder if I take other CE, I can counts those CE hours for both states renewal CE.

TIA.

Ask the states what the requirements are

Of course you can. ACLS is ACLS. You can get "credit" for any CE you take, wherever your licenses are, all of them, (assuming the BoNs accept whatever you took as CE). I have licenses in, umm, lessee now, 8 states, and I do not have to take 8 x the minimum in each state.

(I actually end up taking far more CE than I need for licensure, what with certifications and all, but it's not because I have to, and the CEs for one certification generally count for others as well).
