New Jersey requires 30 contact hours per two-year renewal period for LPNs. The Board's official CE FAQ confirms that both registered professional nurses and licensed practical nurses must complete 1 contact hour on prescription opioid drugs as a condition of biennial renewal (per N.J.A.C. 13:37-5.3). Up to 15 excess hours may carry over to the next period; the Board audits compliance and recommends retaining certificates for five years.
