• Nurses meeting the requirement with contact hours
• Hospital, nursing facility, home health and clinic nurses
• Nurses who want Arkansas law built into their CE
• Nurses who want all 15 hours in one place

✅ Does This Package Satisfy the Arkansas Requirement?

This package provides all 15 practice-focused contact hours Arkansas RNs and LPNs can use to meet the renewal requirement (17 CAR § 121-704(a)(1)(A)). Arkansas has no required subjects for RNs and LPNs, so every hour counts toward your total.

APRNs: this package does not include the 5 pharmacotherapeutics hours advanced practice nurses need. See our 3-hour Arkansas APRN package.

✅ Arkansas RN and LPN Continuing Education Requirements

Arkansas RNs and LPNs with an active license must complete one of three options during each two-year renewal period: 15 practice-focused contact hours from a recognized continuing education approval body, national certification or recertification, or an academic course in nursing or a related field (17 CAR § 121-704(a)(1)(A)). The Arkansas State Board of Nursing accepts continuing education approved by another U.S. board of nursing, as long as the certificate names the board that approved it. 1st Choice CE's courses are approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider Number CEP 18292, and every certificate says so.

• Contact hours: 15 practice-focused contact hours per two-year renewal period if you use the contact-hour option; the Board counts a 50- or 60-minute hour as a contact hour
• Required subjects: None for RNs and LPNs; choose activities that fit your nursing role (17 CAR § 121-705(a))
• APRNs: APRNs with prescriptive authority also need 5 contact hours of pharmacotherapeutics in their area of certification each biennium, and 2 of those must cover professional boundaries and Arkansas prescribing rules (17 CAR § 123-207(h))
• First renewal: If your first renewal period after initial Arkansas licensure is less than 24 months, no continuing education is required for that renewal (ASBN Renewal FAQ)
• Reporting: You declare your CE on the renewal application (17 CAR § 121-702). Do not upload certificates unless the Board selects you for a random audit (17 CAR § 121-703). 1st Choice CE does not report to CE Broker
• Records: Keep certificates for two renewal periods or four years (17 CAR § 121-705(c)); extra hours don't carry over (17 CAR § 121-704(f))
• Not accepted: In-service programs, orientation, refresher courses and courses designed for lay people (17 CAR § 121-708)

How this course helps: This package provides all 15 contact hours across 8 courses. Declare your CE when you renew and keep your certificates for two renewal periods or four years.

✅ When Do Arkansas Nurses Renew?

Arkansas nursing licenses renew every two years on a staggered schedule based on your birth date (17 CAR § 121-801; ASBN). The renewal link in the Arkansas Nurse Portal opens 60 days before your license expires.

Each license type renews separately. APRNs renew their RN license first, then their APRN license.

A license that isn't renewed by its expiration date lapses, and practicing on a lapsed license is illegal practice.

✅ How to Renew Your Arkansas Nursing License

1. Check your expiration date. Sign in to the Arkansas Nurse Portal to confirm your license type and expiration date.
2. Complete your CE. Finish all 8 courses in this package (15 contact hours) during your renewal period.
3. Renew online. Starting 60 days before your license expires, complete the renewal application in the Arkansas Nurse Portal.
4. Declare your CE. Affirm that you met the continuing education requirement. Don't upload certificates unless you're selected for an audit.
5. Pay the fee. Pay the renewal fee by card and save your receipt.
6. Keep your certificates. Keep them for two renewal periods or four years in case of an audit.
