CE is one way to renew in Alaska: 30 contact hours every 2 years. The other routes are listed below.
Other ways to renew
- Continuing competency: 2 of 3 per period: 30 h CE, 30 h professional nursing activities, 320 h paid nursing work
- Alternatives: board-approved refresher course, 6 academic nursing credits, or passing NCLEX in the period
Good to know
No continuing competency is needed at the first renewal if your license was issued in the second year of the renewal period (for 2026, on or after Dec 1, 2025). At least 20 of the 30 CE hours must come from an accredited or approved provider; no more than 10 may be facility in-service.
