License renewal & continuing education in Maryland

License renewal

Every two years (biennial), no later than the 28th day of the licensee’s birth month; nurses with odd-numbered birth years renew in odd years and those with even-numbered birth years renew in even years.

RN continuing education

For active renewal an RN must show ONE of: 1,000 hours of active nursing practice within the preceding five years; completion of a board-approved nursing diploma or degree within the preceding five years; or 30 continuing-education units earned within the two years before renewal.

Continuing-education units may not be carried forward into the next renewal period; the 30-unit continuing-education path is one of three ways to meet the competency requirement.

NursingCEA does not provide continuing-education credit, contact hours, or certificates — we offer free practice questions and study material only. Requirements are set by the Maryland Board of Nursing and change over time; always confirm the current rules with the board.
