What are Ohio's Nursing CE Requirements for Licensed Practical Nurses?
Ohio LPNs: It's time to renew your license. The LPN renewal period opens on July 1, 2018 and extends through October 31, 2018. It is estimated that over 55,000 LPN licenses will renew from July 1, 2018 through October 31, 2018 so the Board of Nursing is encouraging LPNs to complete their CE requirements and to renew their license before September 15, 2018. Starting September 16, all LPNs will have have to pay a late processing renewal fee of $65 plus an additional $50 fee for late filers. All of these fees will add up to a total late renewal fee of $115 so make sure that you complete your CE requirements so you can renew early and avoid any trouble.
