What's Included in This Package

This comprehensive CE package is designed to help Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), and Nurse Practitioners (NPs/APRNs) meet the New Jersey Board of Nursing license renewal requirements with confidence.

The package includes 30+ contact hours of ANCC-accredited continuing education covering all required New Jersey topics, plus additional coursework to ensure full compliance where applicable. Each course can be completed individually, so you take what you need for your license. The CE included is comprehensive and covers all New Jersey state-mandated nursing CE requirements included in this package.

Required Opioid Education

1 hour on prescription opioid drugs, alternatives to opioids, and risks of abuse, addiction, and diversion.

Required Organ & Tissue Donation

1-hour one-time requirement for nurses who did not receive this training in nursing school.

APRN & INDEPENDENT APN PHARMACOLOGY CE

Includes 16 pharmacology contact hours, with 14 pharmacology hours focused on controlled substances, opioid prescribing, medication misuse, pain management, pharmacologic therapy, and addiction-related risks.

The package includes:

  • Opioids – 6 pharmacology hours
  • Medications with Potential for Misuse – 6 pharmacology hours
  • Pain and Pain Symptom Management – 2 pharmacology hours
  • Heart Failure Management – 2 additional pharmacology hours

New Jersey's March 30, 2026 APN law establishes additional pharmacology education requirements for qualifying APNs who practice independently without a joint protocol. The New Jersey Board of Nursing has stated that implementing rules will be issued. Independent APNs should verify current Board guidance and confirm how the pharmacology education requirements apply to their practice status.

Implicit Bias Education

1 hour for nurses providing perinatal treatment and care to pregnant persons.

End-of-Life Care (APRNs)

2 hours on end-of-life care topics required for APRN license renewal.

Additional Clinical CE

General nursing CE to reach your full 30 contact hours for renewal.

Important: How This Package Works

You are not required to complete every course in this package.

You only need to complete the courses that apply to your license type and scope of practice. Any completed courses count toward your required contact hours.

This approach allows us to provide comprehensive coverage while giving you flexibility based on your role.

New Jersey Board of Nursing CE Requirements

The New Jersey Board of Nursing mandates specific continuing education requirements for license renewal. This package is designed to satisfy all mandatory requirements for RNs, LPNs, and APRNs.

Requirements by License Type

For RNs & LPNs

  • 30 contact hours every 2-year renewal period
  • 1 hour on prescription opioid drugs required each renewal
  • 1 hour on organ and tissue donation as a one-time requirement
  • 1 hour on implicit bias if providing perinatal care

For APRNs / Nurse Practitioners

  • 30 contact hours every 2-year renewal period
  • 1 hour on prescription opioid drugs required each renewal
  • 2 hours on end-of-life care required each renewal
  • 6 hours in pharmacology related to controlled substances, one-time for prescriptive authority
  • 1 hour on organ and tissue donation as a one-time requirement
  • 1 hour on implicit bias if providing perinatal care
  • Must maintain national certification

Legal Authority

These requirements are established under N.J.A.C. 13:37-5.3 (Continuing Education Requirements) and administered by the New Jersey Board of Nursing under the Division of Consumer Affairs. Additional requirements for perinatal providers are established under P.L. 2021, Chapter 79 (C.26:2H-12.108).

Carry-Over Provision: Per N.J.A.C. 13:37-5.3, you may carry over up to 15 additional contact hours into your next renewal period if you complete more than the required 30 hours.

Implicit Bias Education (NJ-Specific Notice)

Under New Jersey law (P.L. 2021, Chapter 79), implicit bias education is required only for nurses who provide perinatal treatment and care to pregnant persons.

This includes certified nurse midwives, certified professional midwives, licensed professional nurses and practical nurses providing perinatal care, and APRNs in perinatal settings.

This course is included in the package to ensure full compliance where applicable. Nurses who do not provide perinatal care are not required to complete this course but may find it valuable for professional development.

For Nurse Practitioners / APRNs

This package includes more than the minimum pharmacology contact hours required for New Jersey APRN license renewal.

APRNs with prescriptive authority must complete a one-time requirement of 6 hours in pharmacology related to controlled substances, including:

  • Pharmacologic therapy
  • Addiction prevention and management
  • Issues concerning prescription opioids
  • Responsible opioid prescribing
  • Alternatives to opioids for managing and treating pain
  • Risks and signs of opioid abuse, addiction, and diversion

APRNs should complete the pharmacology-designated courses as part of their renewal requirements. The additional 2 hours of end-of-life care is also included.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many continuing education contact hours must I complete to renew my New Jersey nursing license?

Each licensee must complete a minimum of 30 contact hours of continuing education during the two-year period preceding renewal. For example, to renew a license expiring May 31, 2027, you must complete 30 hours between June 1, 2025 and May 31, 2027. This package includes 30+ hours to ensure full compliance.

What types of CE courses does the New Jersey Board of Nursing accept?

Per N.J.A.C. 13:37-5.3(d), continuing education courses must be approved by a credentialing agency accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Renew Now CE is ANCC-accredited (Provider P0557), so all courses in this package are accepted by the NJ Board of Nursing.

Can I complete my contact hours through online courses?

Yes. The NJ Board of Nursing confirms that continuing education contact hours may be obtained through successful completion of online courses. All courses in this package are 100% online and self-paced. Remember to download and retain your certificates of completion.

How long do I have to keep my continuing education certificates?

The NJ Board of Nursing recommends retaining continuing education certificates for at least five years. Renew Now CE stores your completion records in your account so you can access and download certificates anytime.

Will the Board ever ask for copies of my CE certificates?

Yes. The NJ Board may request copies of your continuing education certificates for a random CE audit or during a disciplinary investigation. This is why retaining certificates for at least 5 years matters. All Renew Now CE certificates include every required documentation element for NJ Board audits.

Do I have to complete every course in this package?

No — complete only what applies to your license type and scope of practice. This package is designed to cover all possible NJ requirements across RN, LPN, and APRN license types in one purchase.

This includes nurses working in labor and delivery, prenatal care, postpartum care, and related settings. The course is included in this package for those who need it.
