FAQ
What are the continuing education requirements for RNs in California?
RNs are required to complete 30 contact hours of continuing education from a BRN approved provider (such as Nursing CE Central) in order to renew their license every two years.
A licensee still within the first 2 years of holding their license, immediately following their initial licensure, must complete one hour of direct participation in an implicit bias course offered by a continuing education provider (such as Nursing CE Central). This can count towards your 30 CE requirements.
(Nursing CE Central’s California Renewal Bundle includes all required courses.)
Are tests required?
No. The California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) 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 BRN accept continuing education from Nursing Ce Central?
Yes! Courses from Nursing CE Central are approved and accepted by the California BRN.
When is the last day to renew my license with the state of California, before my license becomes inactive?
You are required to renew every two years by the last day of the month following your birth date.
What happens if I don't renew my license before its current expiration date?
According to the California Board of Registered Nursing, 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 can not work as a registered 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 registered nurse in California, and are subject to a delinquent renewal fee
.
Can I still work/practice if my renewal is listed as pending?
According to the California Board of Registered Nursing, any nurse who has paid their renewal fee and submitted all renewal requirements on time (such as completed, continuing education), may continue working through a pending renewal if their employer allows.
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.
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.
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.
What is your refund policy?
Nursing CE Central is happy to offer you a refund if the courses do not meet your state licensing requirements.

I am a relicensed and satisfied nurse

Ethan, RN (Monterey)
Gem of a site
"I found the courses not only easy to read and the process very easy and low stress, but one of the few sites that actually had GOOD topics related to my area and not just one or two like others!"
Victoria, RN (Santa Barbara)
Information was relative to today's concerns
