12. Are There Any Other Ways to Fulfill the Continuing Competency Requirements?
A South Carolina nursing license renewal can be completed by the following:
The maintenance of certification or recertification by a national certifying body recognized by the board.
The completion of an academic program of study in nursing or a related field recognized by the board.
The verification of competency and the number of hours practiced, as evidenced by employer certification on a form approved by the board.
 However, most nurses find completing CE courses the fastest and easiest way to renew an LPN or RN license.
