Understanding Your 2025 Indiana Nursing License Renewal

• 2025 Indiana nursing license renewal guidelines stipulate that nurses cannot legally work with an expired license. 
• Many nurses in Indiana do not have time to keep current with each update they must understand in order to renew their license. 
• Nursing CE Central makes renewal easy to manage, with options for RN, LPN, and APRN continuing education in Indiana. 

The 2024 Indiana nursing license renewal requirements exist for good reason. Our nurses must keep up as best practices evolve, so they are empowered to provide the highest level of care for their patients. 

However, we know you are facing burnout, staffing shortages and the high demands of a complex healthcare system. Nursing CE Central offers quick, effective courses that earn Indiana nursing CEUs. 

1. What are the continuing education requirements for the 2024 Indiana nursing license renewal? 

The Indiana Board of Nursing does not require continuing education for LPNs or RNs at this time.

APRNs with prescriptive authority must complete 30 contact hours of continuing education every two years, including: 

• Eight hours on pharmacology.
• Two hours on opioid prescribing and opioid abuse.

Nursing CE Central’s Indiana APRN Bundle includes APRN license renewal CE. 

2. Do I need to take a test to complete the CE requirements for renewal?
