Hawaii Nursing CE Requirements
CE from a California BRN-approved provider: Check With the Board First.
- RN Renewal Requirement
- One continuing competency learning activity per renewal (required since July 1, 2017)
- Mandated Topics
- None listed
- Accepted Providers
Continuing competency is required for renewal: since July 1, 2017, every Hawaii nurse must complete one of the board's learning-activity options before renewing. The board's CE guidance booklet says continuing education approved by another State Board of Nursing is not acceptable.
Confirm with the Hawaii Board of Nursing before relying on a CA BRN course.
Where Sources Disagree: Published sources list 30 hrs and a 2019 FAQ quoted by MedCEC says California-approved courses are acceptable; the board's guidance booklet says other-state approvals are not acceptable.
