✅ Who Should Take This Course?

This course is written for:

• Nevada registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs)
• Medical-surgical, emergency, critical care and long-term care nurses
• Rapid response and charge nurses
• Home health and clinic nurses

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the Nevada Requirement?

This course provides 2 contact hours toward the 30 contact hours Nevada RNs and LPNs need every two years. It does not cover the required 4 hours of cultural competency or the one-time bioterrorism course.

Those two required courses are available together in the 8 Hour Nevada New Licensee and Required Topics Package for $24.99.

It is also part of the 30 Hour Nevada RN and LPN CE Package, all 30 hours, including every Nevada required topic, for $34.99.

✅ Nevada RN and LPN Continuing Education Requirements

Nevada RNs and LPNs must complete 30 contact hours of continuing education every two-year renewal period (NRS 632.343(1)). 1st Choice CE is approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider Number CEP 18292. Under NAC 632.355, a course from a provider recognized by another board of nursing is deemed approved in Nevada, and the Nevada State Board of Nursing confirmed in November 2026 that our courses are accepted.

• Renewal CE: 30 contact hours every 2 years (NRS 632.343(1)); nurses in their first renewal period after graduation are exempt from the 30 hours, but not from the two required courses below
• Cultural competency and DEI: at least 4 hours every renewal period, counted within the 30 (NRS 632.343(3)(c))
• Weapons of mass destruction (bioterrorism): a one-time course of at least 4 hours, completed within 2 years after initial licensure (NRS 632.343(3)(b))
• HIV stigma and bias: 2 hours within 2 years of starting work, only for nurses who provide or supervise emergency care in a hospital or primary care (NRS 632.343(3)(e))
• Contact hour: 60 minutes of participation (NAC 632.040)
• Certificates and audit: certificates show the course, provider, approving body, date, your name and license number, and hours; keep them 4 years and the bioterrorism certificate while licensed; the Board audits at random (NAC 632.340)
• Reporting: 1st Choice CE does not report your hours; you attest to your CE on the renewal application in the Nevada Nurse Portal

How this course helps: This 2-hour course contributes 2 contact hours toward your Nevada total. You still need 28 more hours, including 4 hours of cultural competency.

✅ When Do Nevada Nurses Renew?

Nevada licenses renew every two years on the nurse's birthday (NAC 632.192). Online renewal opens 60 days before your expiration date in the Nevada Nurse Portal.

When you renew, you attest that you completed your continuing education. Nevada is not a Nurse Licensure Compact state, so every nurse practicing in Nevada needs a Nevada license.

There is no grace period. A license not renewed by its expiration date expires, and an additional late fee applies to renew afterward.

✅ How to Renew Your Nevada Nursing License

1. Check your expiration date. Your license expires on your birthday every two years; renewal opens 60 days before.
2. Complete your CE. Earn 30 contact hours in the 2 years before renewal, including 4 hours of cultural competency; complete the one-time bioterrorism course within 2 years of initial licensure.
3. Keep your certificates. Save each certificate for 4 years, and your bioterrorism certificate for as long as you are licensed.
4. Renew online. Log in to the Nevada Nurse Portal and complete the renewal application, attesting to your CE.
5. Pay the renewal fee. Pay online and save your confirmation.
6. Respond if audited. If the Board audits you, send your certificates promptly; failing to respond within 30 days is unprofessional conduct.
