What RenewRN does

Many of these came from a renewal that went sideways: a missed mandatory topic, a board audit with no documentation, a license that lapsed because the reminder never landed.

The core is free. Pro adds email reminders, more credentials, and the audit tools.

Inside the app

See it before you sign up

RenewRN dashboard: a compliance status of Due soon with 9 CE hours left including Jurisprudence and Ethics and 21 days to renew, a credentials register listing a Texas RN license expiring soon, a BLS certification, and a New Mexico RN license with no CE logged yet, and a 12-month renewal calendar — The live dashboard: one compliance verdict up top, every credential on its own clock in a register, the CE you still owe by topic, a 12-month renewal calendar, and one-tap tools like "will this course count?" with the sourced board rule behind every verdict.

Works as an app, too: RenewRN is on Google Play, free.

Tracking

Licenses, certifications, and the CE behind them.

Credential trackingFree + Pro: State licenses, DEA registration, BLS/ACLS/PALS, CCRN and other board certifications, each on its own cycle with days remaining. Free covers one credential; Pro tracks all of them.
CE loggingFree: Log each course once (provider, hours, category, date) and RenewRN works out your progress toward every requirement.
Renewal checklistPro: Your state's renewal steps, fees, and attestations as a checklist that saves your progress.
State requirementsFree: CE hours, mandatory topics, approved providers, and renewal fees for every state, checked against each board's own published rules.
Multi-license dashboardPro: Licenses, certifications, and registrations sorted by what expires next, with the CE each one still needs.

Reminders

Email, push, and calendar.

Email remindersFree + Pro: Pro emails you at 90, 60, 30, 7, and 1 day before each expiration. Free accounts see a live countdown on the dashboard.
Rule-change alertsFree: When a board changes a rule in a state you track, RenewRN emails you after checking the board's own source.
Push remindersFree + Pro: Renewal reminders as phone or desktop notifications. Free accounts get the 90-day push; Pro adds 60, 30, 7, and 1 day.
Renewal historyFree: Each renewal you mark complete is saved with its dates and the CE you finished, for an endorsement application or an employer who asks.
Calendar syncFree + Pro: Subscribe Google, Apple, or your phone's calendar to your deadlines. Free accounts get a one-time calendar file; Pro's feed updates itself when anything changes.

Audits

Records you can hand a board.

Compliance reportPro: A downloadable PDF of your CE progress, completed courses, and hours by category.
Mandatory topic trackingFree + Pro: The topics your state requires (domestic violence, HIV/AIDS, opioids, human trafficking, depending on the state) and your progress on each. Enough total hours with one topic missing still leaves you short.
Certificate storageFree + Pro: Attach each certificate to the course you logged: a link on Free, an uploaded file on Pro.
AI certificate readerPro: Upload a CE certificate (PDF or photo) and RenewRN reads the course, provider, hours, date, and category for you to confirm.
Florida fingerprint trackingPro: Florida's HB 975 fingerprint screening expires on its own clock, and a lapse can hold up renewal. Track the FDLE retention date next to your license; Pro reminds you at 90, 30, and 7 days.
Audit binderPro: One ZIP for a board audit: a cover letter, a CE inventory, every certificate attached for the audited period, and a numbered log that ties them together.
CE overlapPro: Log a course once and it counts toward every license whose rules it meets. RenewRN also shows where one course covers two requirements.

More tools

Courses, certification hours, imports, and expenses.

Find coursesFree + Pro: Your remaining requirements matched against RenewRN's verified course catalog, free courses first. Free accounts see the top picks per topic; Pro sees all of them.
Certification eligibilityPro: Log clinical hours toward a certification such as CCRN or PCCN, and RenewRN tells you the day you're eligible to sit, using the certifying body's published rules.
CE importFree: Upload a CSV or a CE Broker or LMS transcript and RenewRN imports the courses, providers, hours, and dates.
Expense trackerPro: Professional expenses in one place, exported as a summary for employer reimbursement or, if you're 1099 or self-employed, a Schedule C.
Account exportFree: Download everything you've tracked, anytime, free.

If you're audited

A CE audit gives you weeks to produce every certificate for a multi-year period, and in a few states only days. Certificates you attached as you logged are already in one place, and Pro can bundle them into the audit binder.

Getting your own certificates back is never behind Pro. If you cancel, you can still download every file you uploaded.

Free for every nurse, no account needed
