Built by a nurse, for your whole career

RenewRN was built by a nurse who's worked Pediatric ER, NICU, and traveled across multiple states. Nights, weekends, holidays, the whole deal. And like every nurse out there, license renewals were tracked with a spreadsheet, a sticky note on the fridge, and hope.

The trap is mandatory topics. You can have every hour your state requires and still be out of compliance, because two of those hours need to cover a specific topic (jurisprudence, human trafficking, implicit bias), and nothing on the renewal form makes that obvious. Miss it, and your license can lapse over a two-hour course: reinstatement fees, paperwork, and shifts you can't pick up while you wait.

That shouldn't happen to anyone. But it does, constantly. Every state has its own CE math, its own mandatory topics, its own deadline pattern. Nobody had pulled it all into one place. So RenewRN got built.

You see your state's exact requirements, log hours against them, and get nudges before the date sneaks up. Every rule on the site is checked against the official Board of Nursing source for that state. Not scraped. Not guessed. Sources cited on every page.

If you're a travel nurse juggling 5 states, a floor nurse doing 12-hour shifts with no time to think about CE, or a first-time renewer who doesn't know what a mandatory topic is: this is for you. Built by a nurse who needed it. You probably do too.

Since then, RenewRN has grown past renewal day. Free CE for every state and mandatory topic. Study guides for your certification boards: PMHNP, FNP, CCRN, and more. Paths off the bedside, from utilization review to aesthetics. Because keeping your license is just the start; the goal is a career you actually want.

The same nurse behind RenewRN (a Pediatric ER RN and mom of two) also writes at Half Pint Mama, a from-scratch recipes and honest-motherhood blog for the off-shift hours.
