To help you clarify PA RN contact hours needed for license renewal:
1) Complete all 30 hours of continuing education in the time frame for your renewal period.

each of the certificates has the required information – your name, the course title, the
number of CE hours awarded, the date(s) of the activity, the provider(s) of the activity
and the name of the organization which approved the activity.
3) When it comes time to renew your license, answer the renewal question about
completion of the necessary 30 hours CE.
4) DO NOT submit your CE certificates with your renewal unless you are selected for audit
at which time instructions will be provided.
