APRN CE figures verified on the official Nevada State Board of Nursing APRN FAQ: 45 hours per renewal directly related to the APRN's role and population focus (which may include the RN's 30 hours); 2 hours on the use and misuse of controlled substances each cycle for APRNs who prescribe or dispense; 2 hours of suicide prevention within 2 years of initial licensure and every 4 years thereafter. The Board's official General FAQs confirm licenses expire 'every second birthday' (biennial, birthday-based). The one-time 4-hour bioterrorism course and 2-hour cultural-competency/DEI requirement come from the Board's official RN/LPN Renewal FAQ (the 45 APRN hours may include the RN 30 hours, which carry those requirements). A professional portfolio is required; random audits with 4-year CE record retention. There is no grace period for late renewals ($100 late fee); APRN renewal runs on the same expiration date as the RN license.
