Ways to satisfy New Mexico
National certification or recertification within the current renewal period, in lieu of the 30 hours
Do BLS and ACLS cards count?
The board does not say
One contact hour is
50 minutes
Keep your certificates for
1 years
Hours must be accrued within the 24 months immediately preceding expiration. Prorated for short renewal periods. Nurses mobilized for active military duty are exempt while on active duty. Academic credit counts at 15 contact hours per credit.
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.
Get warned before your New Mexico licence renews
Tell us the date on your licence and we will email you 60 days before it lapses. Once, per cycle. No account, no password, nothing else sent to you.
Hold a licence in more than one state?
