Renewals received after the 15th of the licensee's birth month are late renewals, with a 30-day grace period during which licensees may still renew; Board of Nursing rules do not prohibit the practice of nursing during the 30-day grace period, though employers may. Renewing during the grace period costs the $99 renewal fee plus a $50 late fee — amounts published for RN renewal; ARNP renewal runs on the same licensure period as the RN license. Licensees may take CE courses during the 30 days after expiration, and anyone renewing late may be audited.Verify with board

Iowa requires 36 continuing-education contact hours per three-year renewal cycle; no official CE-document retention period is published.
