The 2024 Kansas 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.Â
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 Kansas nursing CEUs.Â
If a Kansas nurse misses their renewal deadline, their license will become inactive. Only an active license may be renewed, thus a license reinstatement is required.
LPNs and RNs are required to complete 30 contact hours of continuing education every two years for the Kansas nursing license renewal.
Nursing CE Central’s Kansas Renewal Bundle includes LPN license renewal CE and RN license renewal CE.
APRNs are also required to complete 30 contact hours of continuing education. All CE must be related to the advanced practice nurse role.
