What’s Included in This Package

This package is designed to help Texas Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) complete all 20 contact hours required for license renewal with the Texas Board of Nursing — in just four courses.

The two Texas-mandated required courses are included, along with 16 hours of high-quality elective CE covering clinically relevant topics. The state-required Human Trafficking Prevention course is free from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission — we link you directly to it.

✔️ Texas Nursing Ethics & Jurisprudence – 2 Hours

Required by Texas BON. Covers the Texas Nursing Practice Act, Occupations Code Chapters 301, 303, and 304, and the standards of professional nursing practice.

✔️ Texas Geriatric Care CE for Nurses – 2 Hours

Required for nurses working with the older adult population. Covers geriatric syndromes, aging-related care considerations, and evidence-based management of common conditions in older adults.

✔️ Heart Failure Management – 6 Hours

Elective CE. A comprehensive review of heart failure pathophysiology, pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic management, and evidence-based nursing interventions across care settings.

✔️ The Obesity Epidemic & Nutrition – 10 Hours

Elective CE. An in-depth exploration of obesity, metabolic health, nutritional science, and clinical interventions — one of the most clinically relevant topics in nursing practice today.

🆕 Human Trafficking Prevention – Free From the State of Texas

Texas requires all nurses who provide direct patient care to complete a Human Trafficking Prevention course every two years. This course is provided at no cost through the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and does not need to be purchased.

👉 Access the free Texas HT Prevention course here — complete it before your renewal date and keep your certificate on file.

⚠️ What About the Forensic Evidence Collection Requirement?

Texas requires 2 hours of Forensic Evidence Collection CE only for nurses who work in an emergency department setting, and it is a one-time requirement — not every renewal cycle.

If you work in the ED and still need to fulfill this one-time requirement, it is not included in this package. Contact us if you need help locating this course separately.

Texas Board of Nursing CE Requirements

The Texas Board of Nursing mandates specific continuing education requirements for license renewal. This package is designed to satisfy the full 20 contact hour requirement for RNs and LVNs, including all applicable mandatory topics.

For RNs & LVNs

20 contact hours of continuing education every two-year renewal period
2 hours in Nursing Jurisprudence and Ethics — required every 6 years (every third renewal cycle)
2 hours in Older Adult / Geriatric Care — required for nurses who work with the geriatric population
2 hours in Forensic Evidence Collection — one-time requirement for nurses in ER settings only
Human Trafficking Prevention — required every renewal; free from the Texas HHS Commission

Alternate Compliance Path: Texas nurses may also satisfy the 20-hour CE requirement by achieving, maintaining, or renewing a Board-approved national nursing certification in their area of practice within the licensing period.

Frequently Asked Questions: Texas Nursing CE

How many continuing education hours do I need to renew my Texas nursing license?

Texas RNs and LVNs must complete 20 contact hours of continuing nursing education every two-year renewal period. This package covers all 20 hours, including the two most commonly required mandatory topics.

Do I have to complete the Ethics & Jurisprudence course every renewal?

No. Texas requires 2 hours of Nursing Jurisprudence and Ethics before the end of every third two-year licensing period (every 6 years). It is included in this package so you have it when your cycle comes due — completing it early does not hurt you.

Is the Geriatric Care course required for all Texas nurses?

Only if you work with the geriatric population. If older adult care is part of your practice, this 2-hour course satisfies the Texas BON requirement. If it does not apply to your practice, the hours still count toward your general 20-hour total.

Where do I get the Human Trafficking Prevention course?

The Texas HHS Commission provides this course free of charge. You can access it directly at the Texas HHS Learning Portal. It is not included in this package because you should not have to pay for it.

Do I need the Forensic Evidence Collection course?

Only if you work in an emergency department. This is a one-time, 2-hour requirement for ER nurses only and is not included in this package. If you need this course, contact us and we can point you to the right resource.

Does the Texas BON accept online CE courses?

Yes. The Texas Board of Nursing accepts online continuing education courses. All courses in this package are 100% online and self-paced. Renew Now CE is ANCC-accredited (P0557), which is a recognized accrediting body for Texas nursing CE.

Is a test required to earn my CE certificate?

No test required. Complete the course content and self-evaluation questions to earn your certificate of completion. Certificates are available for instant download as soon as you finish each course.

How long do I have access to the courses after purchase?

You have one year from the date of purchase to complete all courses in this package. Your completed certificates are stored in your account and accessible any time after that.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many CE hours do Texas RNs and LVNs need to renew their nursing license?

Texas RNs and LVNs must complete 20 contact hours of continuing nursing education every two-year renewal period. This package covers all 20 hours in four courses, including both commonly required mandatory topics — Nursing Ethics and Jurisprudence and Geriatric Care.

Does this package cover everything I need for Texas RN or LVN license renewal?

Yes, for the vast majority of Texas nurses. This package covers all 20 required contact hours including both Texas BON-mandated topics. The one exception is the Human Trafficking Prevention course — Texas law requires it every renewal cycle, but the Texas Health and Human Services Commission provides it free of charge, so we do not include it here. We link you directly to the free Texas HHS portal. The Forensic Evidence Collection course is also not included because it is a one-time requirement for emergency department nurses only — if that applies to you, contact us.

Do I need to complete Ethics and Jurisprudence every renewal cycle?

No — only every third renewal cycle, which is every 6 years. Texas BON requires 2 hours of Nursing Jurisprudence and Ethics before the end of every third two-year licensing period. It is included in this package so you have it when your cycle comes due. Completing it early does not hurt you — it simply counts toward your 20-hour total for this renewal period.

Is there an alternative to completing 20 CE hours for Texas license renewal?

Yes. Texas nurses may satisfy the 20-hour CE requirement by achieving, maintaining, or renewing a Board-approved national nursing certification in their area of practice within the licensing period. If you hold or are pursuing a national certification such as ANCC board certification, verify with the Texas BON whether it satisfies your renewal requirement. For most nurses, completing 20 CE hours is the simpler path.

Does the Texas BON accept online CE courses from ANCC-accredited providers?

Yes. The Texas Board of Nursing accepts online continuing education from ANCC-accredited providers. Renew Now CE holds full ANCC accreditation (Provider P0557) with IPCE status, covering nursing and 15+ other license types. All four courses in this package are 100% online, self-paced, and mobile-friendly. No test is required — complete the course content and self-evaluation to earn your instant certificate.

I need to submit my CE certificates to the Texas BON at renewal?

No. You do not submit CE documentation when you renew your Texas nursing license. By submitting your renewal application you are attesting that you have completed the required hours. The Texas BON conducts random audits — if selected, you must provide certificates showing provider name, course title, completion date, and contact hours. Retain all certificates for at least 4 years. Renew Now CE stores your completion records and certificates in your account for access at any time.

Where can Texas RNs and LVNs get all 20 hours of required CE for license renewal in one package?

Renew Now CE offers a 20-hour Texas Nursing CE Renewal Package for RNs and LVNs ($49) that includes all four courses needed to satisfy the full biennial renewal requirement — Texas Nursing Ethics and Jurisprudence (2 hours), Geriatric Care (2 hours), Heart Failure Management (6 hours), and The Obesity Epidemic and Nutrition (10 hours). ANCC-accredited (P0557), Texas BON accepted, 100% online with instant certificate download. No subscription required.
