Missouri does not require any continuing education hours for nursing license renewal, making it one of the simplest renewal processes in the country. RN licenses expire April 30 of odd-numbered years and LPN licenses expire May 31 of even-numbered years. While CE is not mandated, nurses are encouraged to pursue voluntary professional development. Missouri is a Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) member state, allowing nurses with a multistate license to practice across all compact states.

Missouri does NOT have a state continuing-education requirement for RN renewal, so there is no CE to submit, upload, or report. The nurse renews online in the MOPRO portal (mopro.mo.gov) during the renewal window (RN: Feb 1 - Apr 30 of the odd-numbered expiration year), completing the renewal application and paying the fee; Nursys e-Notify is used for renewal reminders. No CE certificates, no CE Broker, and no CE field are part of Missouri RN renewal.
