Utah nursing CE: what the board asks for
Utah nurses who worked fewer than 400 hours in the two years before renewal need continuing education, and Utah's rule counts continuing education approved by any state board of nursing.

- Nurses with 400 or more practice hours need no CE.
Before you buy anything
What we will not tell you
We will not tell you that a course satisfies your Utah requirement. Your board decides that, and an audit lands on your license, not on us.
What we can do is show you the rule, quoted or cited, and linked, and tell you plainly where our courses stand. Each of our RN & LPN course pages states the continuing-education approval that course carries, and that statement applies only to the course it appears on.
If anything here is unclear for your situation, ask your board before you enroll. Keep every certificate and the course description; the description is what shows an auditor what the course covered.
