Every CE requirement verified against official state nursing board sources. How RenewRN verifies the data →
Free tool
Pick a state and license type, then add the CE hours you've already done. The calculator shows your renewal date, days remaining, and exactly how many hours (and which mandatory topics) you still owe. Same board-verified data as the state pages. No signup, no paywall.
Enter your state and license type. For states whose deadlines are tied to your birth month, add your birth month for an exact countdown. Several states (Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania) assign individual renewal dates that vary by licensee. For those, the calculator points you to the official board portal where you can look up your specific deadline.
All requirements come from official state Board of Nursing sources and are updated as boards publish changes. For the full breakdown of any state (fees, mandatory topics, audit rules, and renewal steps), browse all 51 state pages.

Most states renew on a fixed cycle, and many tie the deadline to your birth month. Enter your state, license type, and (where it applies) your birth month, and the calculator returns the date. A few states (Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania) assign individual renewal dates that vary by licensee; for those, the calculator links you to the official board portal to look up yours.
It varies by state and license type, from no required hours in a handful of states up to 30 or more contact hours per cycle, often including mandatory topics. The calculator shows your state's exact requirement and subtracts the hours you've already logged, so you see precisely what you still owe.
Usually not. Most boards require the hours to fall within the current renewal cycle and don't allow carryover, though a few states do. Check your state page or the CE questions hub for the verified rule before counting on it.
