Colorado Registered Nurse: CE & renewal requirements

No continuing education required — just renew on time.

Biennial — a fixed date: licenses expire Sept 30 (odd or even, assigned at issuance). Fee plus disclosure questions.

Source: Colorado State Board of Nursing (DORA) · confirmed 2026-06. Requirements change — always verify with the board.

First renewal & exemptions

N/A for routine renewal; a continued-competency refresher applies only if you've been out of active practice ~2+ years.

If your license lapses

Practicing on an expired license is prohibited; reinstatement is via the DORA/DPO portal. Treat Sept 30 as a hard deadline.

How CE is tracked

Renew online via Colorado DORA/DPO; no CE attestation for routine renewal.

Watch out: Colorado mandates NO CE hours for RNs — the statutory '20 hours / 2 years' is an authority the Board has never exercised, so vendors selling 'Colorado nursing CE' can mislead.
