✅ Who Should Take This Package?

This package is written for:

• California nurse practitioners renewing their RN license
• NPs who hold a furnishing number and furnish Schedule II drugs
• Primary care NPs whose patients are more than 25% age 65 or older
• NPs practicing under standardized procedures
• NPs practicing under sections 2837.103 or 2837.104
• Family, adult-gerontology, women's health, and psychiatric-mental health NPs
• Any California NP who wants the whole renewal in one purchase

✅ Does This Package Satisfy the California Requirement?

This package provides all 30 contact hours California nurse practitioners need every two years to renew the RN license.

It includes the 3-hour course on Schedule II controlled substances and the risks of addiction for NPs who hold a furnishing number, are authorized to furnish Schedule II drugs, and are DEA-registered.

It also includes 6 hours of gerontology (dementia care, geriatric pharmacology and the Beers Criteria, and falls and frailty) for NPs whose primary care patients are more than 25% age 65 or older.

Nurses renewing for the first time within two years of initial licensure are exempt from the 30 hours and need a one-hour implicit bias course instead.

✅ California Nurse Practitioner Continuing Education Requirements

California nurse practitioners renew their registered nurse license every two years, and the RN requirement of 30 contact hours of continuing education applies. Courses must come from a provider the BRN recognizes, and online courses are accepted. Several NP-specific rules may also apply.

• Total hours: 30 contact hours every two-year renewal period
• Gerontology: If more than 25% of your primary care patients are 65 or older, at least 6 of your 30 hours must be in gerontology, the special care needs of patients with dementia, or the care of older patients
• Schedule II furnishing: If you hold a furnishing number, are authorized to furnish Schedule II controlled substances, and are registered with the DEA, your continuing education must include a course covering Schedule II controlled substances and the risks of addiction, based on BRN standards
• Furnishing number: Your furnishing number renews at the time of your RN license renewal
• First renewal: If you are renewing your RN license for the first time within two years of initial licensure, you are exempt from the 30 hours but must complete a one-hour implicit bias course
• Records: Keep certificates for four years; the BRN audits at random

How this course helps: This package provides all 30 contact hours required for renewal, including the 3-hour Schedule II course and 6 gerontology hours, so it covers both NP-specific topics when they apply to you.

✅ When Do California Nurse Practitioners Renew?

California RN licenses renew every two years. Your license expires on the last day of your birth month, and your exact expiration date appears on your license record in BreEZe, the BRN's online licensing system. Nurse practitioners renew through the RN license, and a furnishing number renews at the same time.

The BRN mails a renewal notice about three months before your license expires, but you are responsible for renewing even if the notice never arrives. You can renew no earlier than three months before your expiration date. A renewal submitted after the expiration date costs more and leaves you unable to practice until the license is active again.

The continuing education you report must be completed during the renewal period that is ending, so plan to finish your hours before you submit.

✅ How to Renew Your California License as a Nurse Practitioner

1. Check your record. Look up your license status and expiration date in BreEZe.
2. Complete your hours. Finish 30 contact hours from BRN-recognized providers during your renewal period, including any gerontology or Schedule II course that applies to you, or the one-hour implicit bias course if this is your first renewal.
3. Save your certificates. Each certificate shows the provider name and number, course title, completion date, and hours.
4. Sign in to BreEZe. Within three months of your expiration date, log in to BreEZe Online Services and start your renewal.
5. Answer the renewal questions. Confirm your continuing education, enter course details if asked, and complete the required disclosures.
6. Pay the fees. The BRN's fee schedule lists $190 for an on-time active RN renewal, and a furnishing number renewal fee also applies if you hold one.
7. Confirm and keep records. Verify that your license shows the new expiration date, and keep your certificates for four years.
