✅ Who Should Take This Course?

• Illinois RNs, LPNs and APRNs
• Hospital, long-term care, clinic and home health nurses
• Charge nurses, supervisors and nurse managers
• Travel and agency nurses working in Illinois
• Every Illinois nurse renewing a license

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the Illinois Requirement?

This course is designed to meet the 1-hour sexual harassment prevention training every Illinois licensee with a continuing education requirement completes at each renewal (20 ILCS 2105/2105-15.5; 68 Ill. Adm. Code 1130.400). It covers each topic the rule requires: the legal definition, examples of unlawful conduct, federal and Illinois law and remedies, and employer responsibilities. It provides 1 contact hour toward the 20 contact hours Illinois RNs and LPNs need each renewal; it does not complete the full requirement by itself.

This course is included in the 20 Hour Illinois Nursing CE Package (RN/LPN Renewal), which gives you all 20 hours for $39.99.

✅ Illinois RN and LPN Continuing Education Requirements

Illinois registered nurses and licensed practical nurses complete 20 hours of approved continuing education in the 24 months before their license expires, and advanced practice registered nurses complete 80 hours in their specialty (68 Ill. Adm. Code 1300.130). 1st Choice CE is an Illinois Nurse Continuing Education Sponsor licensed by IDFPR, License No. 236.000249, and is also approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider Number CEP 18292.

• Total hours: 20 contact hours per 2-year renewal for RNs and LPNs; 80 hours for APRNs, including 20 hours of pharmacotherapeutics (10 of them on opioid prescribing or substance abuse); a contact hour is 60 minutes
• Required topics within the 20 hours: 1 hour of sexual harassment prevention every renewal; at least 1 hour of implicit bias awareness every renewal; 1 hour on Alzheimer's disease and other dementias for nurses who care for adults 26 or older and 1 hour of cultural competency, each repeated once every six years; mandated reporter training at least every 6 years for nurses who work with children
• First renewal: No continuing education is required for the first renewal of an Illinois license
• Reporting: You certify completion on your renewal application. 1st Choice CE does not report your hours; keep your certificates in case IDFPR selects you for a random audit (68 Ill. Adm. Code 1300.130(d))

How this course helps: This 1-hour course counts toward your 20-hour Illinois total, so you will still need 19 more contact hours.

✅ When Do Illinois Nurses Renew?

Illinois registered nurse and APRN licenses expire on May 31 of each even-numbered year, and licensed practical nurse licenses expire on January 31 of each odd-numbered year (68 Ill. Adm. Code 1300.40).

You can renew during the month before your license expires. The renewal fee is $40 per year of the license period ($80 for a 2-year renewal).

Only hours earned in the 24 months before your license expires count, and practicing on an expired license is unlicensed practice.

✅ How to Renew Your Illinois Nursing License

2. Complete your hours. Earn 20 contact hours of approved continuing education in the 24 months before your license expires.
3. Cover the required topics. Make sure your 20 hours include sexual harassment prevention and implicit bias awareness, plus dementia, cultural competency and mandated reporter training when they are due.
4. Renew online with IDFPR. Watch for IDFPR's renewal notice and renew online during the month before your expiration date.
5. Attest and pay. Certify your continuing education on the application and pay the renewal fee.
