What the finder shows
- Total CE hours per renewal cycle
- The length of the cycle

- A link to the board rule and the date we checked it
- Courses that cover the mandated topics, with their exact credit status
Which states are covered?
Every state in the list has been checked against an official source, which is linked with each answer, together with the date of the dataset. States marked “not checked yet” are still being researched; until they are, use the state agency’s own website. Fields we could not confirm are left out rather than guessed.
Frequently asked questions
Where do the requirements come from?
From each state board of nursing’s own rules and published guidance, checked one by one and dated. Until a state has been checked, the finder says so instead of guessing. More professions are being added.
