How Do You Submit Continuing Education For RN Licenses?
All states in the U.S. require that nurses complete a certain amount of continuing education in order to maintain their licenses; however, each state has a different policy regarding how to submit this documentation in order to meet licensure requirements. A little research about your state’s board of nursing policies will help make the process simple. Contact your state board of nursing to determine your state’s requirements for submission of continuing education for licensure. Some states do not require nurses to submit proof of continuing education, asking instead that nurses keep records of all continuing education courses attended, requiring a signed statement attesting to attendance, and relying on randomly-selected audits. Other states have online tools or special forms included as part of the license renewal process — you will have an opportunity to provide details for the coursework and contact hours involved. Use the online tools or paper forms provided by your state’s board
