FAQ
What are the continuing education requirements for LVNs in California?
Nurses are required to complete 30 contact hours of continuing education from a California Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians (BVNPT) approved provider (such as Nursing CE Central) every 2 years in order to renew your license.
(Nursing CE Central’s California Renewal Bundle includes all required courses.)
Are tests required?
No. The California BVNPT does not require that tests be taken in order to issue certificates. We do not feel that tests are an efficient use of nurses’ time. Therefore, we do not require tests. You simply need to read the material and certify you have learned the material with one click.
Does California accept continuing education from Nursing CE central?
Yes, the California BVNPT accepts continuing education from Nursing CE Central for purposes of license renewal.
When is the license renewal deadline?
You are required to renew every two years by the last day of your birth month.
What happens if a nurse doesn't renew their license before its current expiration date?
According to the California Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians (BVNPT), a nurse who pays their renewal fee, but does not complete the required 30 hours of continuing education, will have their license placed on an inactive status. Nurses with an inactive license cannot work as a nurse in California.
If a nurse misses both the continuing education and payment requirements for renewal, their license will be placed on a delinquent status. Delinquent licensees may not work as a nurse in California and are subject to a delinquent renewal fee.
Can I work with a delinquent license?
No, if your license has been placed on delinquent status, you may not work as a nurse in California.
How do I complete a course?
Once you enroll you will have access to all courses. To complete a course you read and learn the course materials, then testify that you have done so by clicking a button. Once this is complete your certificate will be issued.
Are the courses timed?
No. Users may complete the courses at their own pace. Nursing CE Central does not monitor your time spent in courses.
How do I access my certificates once a course is completed?
Your certificate will be instantly emailed to you once you complete a course. Additionally, it is available online for you to access at any time. We keep a record of your certificates for five years.
What is your refund policy?
Nursing CE Central is proud to offer a 100% money back guarantee. If you have not earned any certificates we will refund your purchase without question.
