Continuing Education

Failure to comply with continuing education and/or continuing competency requirements may result in disciplinary action against the licensee or registrant.  The disciplinary action will be reported on the Department of Health license verification web site.

Continuing Education for relicensure is not mandatory in Tennessee. However, mandatory continuing competency is required in Tennessee. In order to maintain continued competence, the board requires the nurse to have practiced in nursing in the last five (5) years and additionally, the Board sets out standards of competence and requirements to maintain competence.
