Connecticut Registered Nurse: CE & renewal requirements
No continuing education required — just renew on time.
Annual, in your birth month. There's no general CE — the only mandate runs on a separate 6-year cadence.
Source: Connecticut Board of Examiners for Nursing (DPH) · confirmed 2026-06. Requirements change — always verify with the board.
Required topics
- 2 hrs PTSD/suicide screening + suicide prevention — once every 6 years
First renewal & exemptions
N/A — there's no general CE to be exempt from.
If your license lapses
Non-compliance with the 2-hour module is subject to Board action; keep records at least 3 years.
How CE is tracked
Self-attest at annual online renewal; produce records within 45 days if the Department asks.
Watch out: Connecticut RNs renew most years with ZERO CE — the only CE you ever owe is a 2-hour PTSD/suicide module every 6 years, and it's easy to forget which renewal year it lands on.
