✅ Accepted for Texas Nursing License Renewal

Texas BON recognizes continuing nursing education approved by other state boards of nursing. Because this course is approved by the Florida Board of Nursing, it is accepted for Texas nursing license renewal and can be used toward general continuing nursing education hours.

This makes it a great option for Texas nurses who want a simple, affordable online CE course while also improving one of the most important skills in nursing practice: effective communication.

✅ Who Should Take This Course?

This course is a good fit for Texas RNs, LVNs, and many APRNs who want continuing education in patient communication, collaboration, documentation, conflict resolution, and communication strategies that improve patient care.

It is especially helpful for nurses who:

✅ Need general CE hours for Texas renewal
✅ Want a course accepted for Texas Nursing License Renewal
✅ Want stronger communication skills for patient care and teamwork
✅ Work in fast-paced settings where clear communication affects safety and outcomes

✅ Texas Nursing License Renewal Requirements

Texas nursing licenses generally renew every 2 years. For many Texas nurses, renewal includes 20 contact hours of continuing nursing education every 2 years, unless the nurse qualifies through an accepted certification alternative. Texas BON also requires certain targeted topics in specific renewal cycles or practice settings, depending on the nurse’s role and requirements.

Because Texas BON recognizes continuing nursing education approved by other state boards of nursing, courses approved by the Florida Board of Nursing can count toward Texas renewal as general CE when they fit your renewal needs.

APRNs may have additional role-specific requirements, so this course may be one part of an APRN’s total renewal plan.

✅ When Do Texas Nurses Have to Renew?

Texas nurses usually renew every 2 years. After the first renewal, the license typically expires on the last day of your birth month, so your renewal deadline is based on your individual license cycle rather than one single statewide date.

That means it is smart to complete your CE early so you have time to finish your renewal before your expiration date.

✅ How to Renew Your Texas Nursing License

✅ Step 1: Complete the continuing education hours you need for your renewal period. For many Texas nurses, that means 20 contact hours every 2 years unless an accepted alternative applies.

✅ Step 2: Finish this course online and download your instant certificate.

✅ Step 3: Log in to the Texas Nurse Portal and complete your renewal application. Texas BON states that renewals are completed through the Texas Nurse Portal.
