✅ Who Should Take This Course?

This course is written for:

• West Virginia registered nurses (RNs) renewing in the even-year renewal period
• Emergency, pediatric, obstetric, long-term care and home health nurses
• Nurses who are mandated reporters under West Virginia law
• Nurses who want a clear review of West Virginia reporting time limits

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the West Virginia Requirement?

This course provides 1 contact hour toward the 12 contact hours West Virginia RNs need each renewal period. Apart from the one-time controlled substance training for new licensees, the Board's continuing education page lists no required topic for RN renewal, so approved hours on any nursing subject count.

Newly licensed nurses who give controlled substances also need the one-time 3-hour training under W. Va. Code § 30-1-7a, which this course does not cover.

It is also part of the 12 Hour West Virginia RN CE Package, all 12 RN hours for $29.99.

✅ West Virginia RN Continuing Education Requirements

West Virginia RNs must complete 12 contact hours of continuing education every two-year renewal period (19 CSR 11-3.1.1). 1st Choice CE is approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider Number CEP 18292. The West Virginia Board of Registered Nurses accepts continuing education from any State Board of Nursing in the U.S., and the Board confirmed in November 2026 that it accepts CE from California BRN-approved providers.

• Renewal CE: 12 contact hours every renewal period (19 CSR 11-3.1.1)
• New licensees: a one-time 3 contact hours of drug diversion, best-practice prescribing of controlled substances and opioid antagonist training within one year of the initial license, for nurses who prescribe, administer or dispense controlled substances (W. Va. Code § 30-1-7a); the hours may count toward the 12, and a waiver is available through CE Broker for nurses who do not handle controlled substances
• First renewal period: a nurse first licensed during a reporting period is exempt from the 12-hour requirement for that period (19 CSR 11-3.2.1)
• Contact hour: at least 50 minutes of an approved, organized learning experience (19 CSR 11-3.1.2.a); each hour of our courses is 60 minutes
• No carryover: hours from a previous period cannot be used, and extra hours cannot be saved for a future period (19 CSR 11-3.1.3)
• CE Broker and audit: upload your certificates to CE Broker; licensees are audited periodically, must send documents within 30 days of an audit notice (3.5.2) and keep certificates for 2 years (3.5.3)
• Reporting: 1st Choice CE does not report your hours; you upload your certificates to CE Broker and attest when you renew

How this course helps: This 1-hour course contributes 1 contact hour toward your West Virginia total. You still need 11 more hours to reach 12.

✅ When Do West Virginia RNs Renew?

West Virginia RN licenses expire on June 30 of each even-numbered year (19 CSR 3-8.1). Renewal opens May 1 and closes June 30, and the next renewal period is May 1 to June 30, 2028.

You renew online through the Board's Nurse Portal and attest to your continuing education, which the Board verifies through CE Broker.

There is no grace period. A license that is not renewed by June 30 lapses immediately, and practicing on a lapsed license is practicing without a license; a lapsed license is reinstated through the Nurse Portal.

4. Renew online. Between May 1 and June 30 of the even-numbered year, log in to the Nurse Portal and complete the renewal application.
