Vermont Nursing CE Requirements
Everything Vermont RNs need for license renewal — required contact hours, renewal cycle, mandatory topics, and the best continuing-education providers, in one place.
Required Hours
20 contact hours OR a practice/certification pathway (a three-way continued-competency choice)
Renewal Cycle
Biennial (every 2 years)
Tracking / Reporting
Self-attested; courses must be from a Board-approved or nationally accredited provider (e.g., ANCC). Keep records for audit.
Renewal Deadline
RN licenses renew every 2 years (commonly March 31 of odd-numbered years). Renew online through the OPR portal (notices go out ~60 days before).
Required & specialty topics
- Meet ONE of three continued-competency pathways in the period before renewal: 20 contact hours of CE; OR practice (400 hours / 50 days in 2 years, or 960 hours / 120 days in 5 years); OR a current Board-approved national nursing certification in your practice area.
- APRNs who prescribe controlled substances: 2 hours of CE on controlled-substance prescribing.
Good to know
- Vermont joined the Nurse Licensure Compact in 2022.
- Most actively working nurses meet the practice-hours pathway and owe no CE; the 20-hour pathway mainly affects per-diem or recently inactive nurses.
Official source
Requirements change. Always confirm the current rules directly with the Vermont Board of Nursing (Office of Professional Regulation, Secretary of State) before you renew.
