South Dakota Nursing CE Requirements
Everything South Dakota 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 to renew
Renewal Cycle
Biennial (every 2 years)
Tracking / Reporting
Nothing to submit for a standard RN/LPN renewal; you attest to practice-related questions.
Renewal Deadline
Licenses renew every 2 years (notices go out ~60 days before). Renew online through the South Dakota nursing portal.
Required & specialty topics
- There is NO continuing education requirement for RN or LPN license renewal in South Dakota.
- APRNs maintain national certification and meet prescriptive-authority requirements.
Good to know
- South Dakota is a Nurse Licensure Compact state.
- A separate 40-hour CE rule applies only to licensed nursing-FACILITY administrators, not to RNs/LPNs.
Official source
Requirements change. Always confirm the current rules directly with the South Dakota Board of Nursing before you renew.
