Do You Need Mandatory Continuing Education for Re-Licensure?

Yes...30 hours worth! The Pennsylvania State Board is implementing this process in a cyclical manner (see table below). You do not need to submit CE certificates with your renewal form but must keep the documents for 5 years for auditory purposes. If you do not complete the 30 hours your license will be renewed but you will incur fines. You then have 6 months to complete the CE or be subject to disciplinary action from the Board.

See www.dos.state.pa.us/nurse for more information.
