For registered nurse license renewal, read off Missouri State Board of Nursing renewal; 20 CSR 2200-4 rather than an aggregator. Checked 2026-10-15.

No CE. Checked both halves of 20 CSR 2200-4, the licensure and renewal chapter, which contains no RN contact hour requirement. Licenses expire 30 April of odd-numbered years. The 60 hour rule in 2200-4.100 applies to uncertified APRNs only.
