New Board of Nursing License Renewal Requirement

CE Requirements for RNs:
Effective January 31, 2016, all registered nurses will be required to complete continuing education competency requirements as a condition of licensure renewal. Georgia law provides five options from which licensees may choose in order to satisfy the continuing competency requirements. Licensees who renew in January 2016 must satisfy one of the options between February 1, 2014 and January 31, 2016. 

The Georgia Board of Nursing uses CE Broker to track and verify compliance with continuing competency requirements. Please visit CE Broker's website at
