You can complete the course on your 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 general continuing nursing education hours for renewal.

That makes this course a strong option for nurses who want a simple, affordable online CE course while also strengthening infection prevention skills that support patient safety, workplace safety, and regulatory compliance.

✅ Who Should Take This Course?

This course is a great fit for Texas RNs, LVNs, and many APRNs who want continuing education in infection control, disease transmission, PPE, outbreak response, occupational exposure protocols, and infection prevention in real-world care settings.

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 infection prevention and compliance knowledge
✅ Work in hospitals, clinics, long-term care, home health, or outpatient settings

✅ 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 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, which means 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. Texas BON also directs nurses to renew through the Texas Nurse Portal.

✅ 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 handled through the Texas Nurse Portal.
