Maine Nursing (LPN) CE audits & penalties

What happens if a licensed practical nurse misses CE requirements in Maine, and how the board checks compliance — sourced from the official board.

Unlicensed practice or holding oneself out as a nurse without a license for 90 days or less results in a Lapsed License Letter of Concern kept on file for 5 years; 91 days or more brings a consent agreement with admission, warning, and a $500 fine; the same applies when a letter of concern is already on file.Verify with board

How compliance is checked

The Board publishes an APRN CE renewal audit policy; LPNs have no continuing-education requirement for renewal, so no CE audit applies to LPNs.
