Build stronger clinical skills in diabetes care with a flexible online course that is accepted for Texas Nursing License Renewal. Texas BON recognizes continuing nursing education approved by other state boards of nursing, so courses approved by the Florida Board of Nursing can be used toward Texas renewal as general continuing nursing education.

This 4-hour course is designed for nurses who want practical, relevant training in diabetes pathophysiology, glycemic control, medication management, patient education, complication prevention, and long-term care planning. You can complete the course on your own schedule, log in and out without losing progress, and download your instant certificate as soon as you finish.

✅ 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, Texas nurses can use it toward their general continuing education hours for renewal.

That makes this a strong option for nurses who want an affordable online CE course while also strengthening their ability to care for patients with diabetes across outpatient, inpatient, long-term care, and community settings.

✅ Who Should Take This Course?

This course is a great fit for Texas RNs, LVNs, and many APRNs who want continuing education in diabetes care, blood glucose monitoring, insulin therapy, complication prevention, patient teaching, and long-term disease management.

It is especially helpful for nurses who:

✅ Need general CE hours for Texas renewal
✅ Want a course accepted for Texas Nursing License Renewal
✅ Care for patients with Type 1, Type 2, or gestational diabetes
✅ Want stronger knowledge of glycemic control and diabetes-related complications

✅ 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 alternative.

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 full 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 deadline is based on your individual license cycle rather than one single statewide date.

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 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.
