Boilerplate

RenewRN (renewrn.net) is a free home base for nurses' licenses and careers. Launched in 2026 by a working ER and NICU travel nurse, it tracks license renewals and CE requirements across all 51 US jurisdictions, with every requirement sourced to the board rule or statute that sets it and re-checked on a rolling schedule. The site also maintains a hand-vetted, affiliate-free directory of 27+ free accredited CE courses, guides to 35 nursing certifications and 25 nursing career paths, and open datasets on nursing salaries, CE burden, and renewal deadlines.

Data journalists can cite

The Nursing CE Burden Index: all 51 jurisdictions ranked by renewal burden (DOI-registered dataset).

Nurse salary by state: BLS occupational wage data for RNs, NPs, LPNs, and CRNAs.
Cost to Keep Your License: what nurses actually pay per cycle, state by state.

Story angles we can support with data

Statewide renewal deadline surges: in many states every RN license expires on the same date, creating predictable compliance crunches (and lapsed-license spikes) we can date for any state.
The patchwork problem: the same nurse can owe 0 CE hours in one state and 30+ in the next, and what that means for travel nurses.
What a lapsed license really costs: late fees, reinstatement paths, and the states where one missed deadline means starting over.
Where free CE actually exists, and which states a nurse can renew in without spending a dollar on courses.
