Tennessee Rule 1000-02-.14 requires practical nurses to document at least two continued-competence activities per biennium; one activity option is five contact hours of continuing education applicable to practice (ten hours if not currently practicing), and the five-hour CE route is shown here. Practical nurses not practicing full-time, or inactive for extended periods, have separate compliance options under the same rule. Documentation must be retained four years and produced on Board request.
