Tennessee Nursing CE Requirements
Everything Tennessee RNs need for license renewal — required contact hours, renewal cycle, mandatory topics, and the best continuing-education providers, in one place.
Required Hours
No fixed general CE-hour count for RNs — Tennessee uses a "continued competence" model (confirm your exact path with the Board)
Renewal Cycle
Biennial (every 2 years), tied to your birth month
Tracking / Reporting
Self-attested at renewal; the Department of Health audits for compliance. The Board encourages CE Broker as a free tracking tool.
Renewal Deadline
License expires at the end of your birth month on a 2-year cycle. Renew through the Tennessee online portal.
Required & specialty topics
- Tennessee requires nurses in practice to maintain continued competence and may audit; document the qualifying activities you used.
- APRNs with a Certificate of Fitness / prescriptive authority: at least 2 contact hours on controlled-substance prescribing, including the Tennessee Department of Health opioid prescribing guidelines.
Good to know
- Because Tennessee's rule is competence-based rather than a fixed hour count, confirm exactly which activities satisfy your renewal with the Board before relying on this.
Official source
Requirements change. Always confirm the current rules directly with the Tennessee Board of Nursing before you renew.
