Colorado nursing CE requirements
For registered nurse license renewal, read off Colorado DPO Nursing FAQ rather than an aggregator. Checked 2026-10-15.
No general hour requirement
This board sets no blanket number of continuing education hours. That is not the same as nothing to do: anything listed below is still mandatory, and the board can still ask you to show competence another way.
Do BLS and ACLS cards count?
The board does not say
One contact hour is
50 minutes
- No blanket hour requirement here, which is not the same as no requirement. Anything listed above is still mandatory.
No CE for routine renewal. Continued competency applies only to endorsement, reinstatement and reactivation after 2 years out of practice.
Read from that page on 2026-10-15. Boards change their rules and their websites without announcing either, so treat this as a convenience and the board as the authority.

Hold a licence in more than one state?
The compliance map takes the CE you have already done and shows you where it would hold up across all 51 jurisdictions at once, including the ones that do not work the way anybody assumes. Three questions, no account. Both tools are available in English, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese.
