NCLEX practice questions for Oklahoma nurses & students

The Oklahoma Board of Nursing is the independent agency that licenses RNs, LPNs, and advanced practice nurses in Oklahoma and approves the state's nursing education programs. Oklahoma nursing students train at public universities, private colleges, and technology-center and community-college programs from Oklahoma City and Tulsa to the state's more rural regions. As a Nurse Licensure Compact member, Oklahoma lets qualifying residents obtain a multistate license for practice across compact states. This site offers free, original practice questions for study only.

License renewal & continuing education in Oklahoma

License renewal
Every two years, expiring the last day of the licensee’s birth month.
RN continuing education
Oklahoma does not mandate continuing education alone. Within the two years before a license expires, a nurse must meet one of several “continued qualifications for practice” options: verified employment of at least 520 hours in a position requiring the license; at least 24 contact hours of continuing education applicable to nursing practice; current certification in a nursing specialty; completion of a Board-approved refresher course; or at least 6 academic semester credit hours of nursing coursework at the licensee’s level or higher.

The same continued-qualification options apply to RNs and LPNs; a nurse may satisfy them through employment hours, certification, a refresher course, or academic credit rather than continuing education. Confirm current options with the Board.

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 Oklahoma Board of Nursing and change over time; always confirm the current rules with the board.
