Frequently asked questions

How many CE hours do Idaho RNs need?

Idaho registered nurses need 15 contact hours every 2 years as the education option of the Board's learning-activity model.

What is Idaho's learning-activity model?

Idaho does not mandate specific CE topics. Instead, each renewal you complete two of three learning activities: (1) an education activity such as 15 hours of CE, (2) a practice activity such as specialty certification or 100 practice hours, or (3) a professional engagement activity. The courses below satisfy the 15-hour education activity.

When is my Idaho RN license renewal deadline?

Idaho RN licenses renew on a two-year cycle.
