Montana Nursing CE Requirements

Everything Montana RNs need for license renewal — required contact hours, renewal cycle, mandatory topics, and the best continuing-education providers, in one place.

Required Hours
No CE required for RNs/LPNs/APRNs to renew (the 24-hour requirement was REPEALED effective November 18, 2023)
Renewal Cycle
Biennial (every 2 years)
Tracking / Reporting
Nothing to submit for renewal. The Board still offers free CE (e.g., scope of practice, ethics) for nurses who want it.
Renewal Deadline
Licenses run January 1 – December 31 and expire December 31; half of Montana nurses renew in even years and half in odd years. Renew online before the deadline.
