State CME and nursing CE requirements
One page for each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, covering CME hours, nursing CE contact hours, license renewal cycles, mandated topics, board links and whether a board-approved course is required.
Planning aid only. ClinLicense is not legal or compliance advice. Boards change rules between cycles, so confirm every requirement with the board before you rely on it.
Each page shows a review date when we have one and a clear not-yet-verified notice when we do not. The columns below summarize the MD entry and the RN entry, and every page also covers DO, NP, PA, CRNA, CAA, LPN/LVN, CNM and CNS rules where we have one recorded, along with the state’s Nurse Licensure Compact status. The nursing CE guide puts the nursing figures side by side. Read our editorial standards to see how entries are written and corrected.
