Frequently asked questions

Does free Human Trafficking CE count toward my nursing license renewal?: Yes, when two things are true: the provider is accredited (for example, ANCC-accredited or on your state board's approved-provider list) and the content matches what your renewal requires. Free CE is not worth less than paid CE. Because acceptance rules vary by state, confirm the specifics with your state Board of Nursing before you rely on a course.
Which states require Human Trafficking CE?: Human Trafficking is a named CE requirement in 4 US jurisdictions: Texas, Florida, Ohio, Michigan. Even where it is not separately mandated, these hours generally count toward your total CE. Open your state page for the exact hours and accepted providers.
How do I know if a specific Human Trafficking course will count in my state?: Check that the provider is accredited or on your board's approved list, and that the course covers your state's required content. You can also paste any course into our free course checker to see whether it counts in your state, no account needed.
How many hours of Human Trafficking CE do I need?: It varies by state, and in some states by whether you hold prescriptive authority, so there is no single national number. Many states fold human trafficking into a required-topic portion of your total CE rather than adding hours on top. Your state page lists the exact requirement.
