Pennsylvania BON FAQs
How can I renew my Pennsylvania license for the 2022 renewal period?
To renew your license, visit the Pennsylvania renewal portal at www.pals.pa.gov. You will be allowed to complete your renewal process once applications open between 30 and 60 days prior to expiration. Once logged in, you will need to review the application checklist, upload required documents, follow
prompts, and pay the $122 renewal fee, to complete the renewal process.
Is the Pennsylvania Board of Nursing waiving any renewal requirements this year due to COVID?
According to the Board, no. Regular requirements for the 2022 renewal period are currently in place, such as continuing education completion and state fees.
What happens if I don't renew my license before the 2022 deadline?
If your license expires due to missing your renewal deadline, you will not be able to practice in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania until you have been issued an active license. Nurses must submit a reactivation application through the Pennsylvania license portal at www.pals.pa.gov. Once logged-in, you can access the reactivation application by clicking on the pencil icon located beside the license number you need to reactivate. For more information on the reactivation process, visit https://www.dos.pa.gov/ProfessionalLicensing/BoardsCommissions/Nursing/Pages/Reactivation-Forms.aspx.
What are the continuing education requirements for the 2022 renewal period?
All Pennsylvania RNs must complete 30 hours of continuing education for their biennial license renewal. Of those 30 hours, 2 must meet the Child Abuse Recognition and Reporting requirements.

It takes, on average, three days for the Pennsylvania Board of Nursing to renew an existing, registered license. However, it may take 10-14 business days to receive your renewed license in the mail. Once you have completed and submitted your renewal application through the Pennsylvania renewal
portal (www.pals.pa.gov) you will receive a confirmation email. For real-time updates on the status of your license and renewal application, you can visit www.pals.pa.gov.
Do I have to keep documentation proving I completed my 2022 continuing education requirements for renewal?
All nurses are responsible for keeping individual records of continuing education completion, should the Pennsylvania Board of Nursing ever request them. Nursing CE Central suggests keeping these records for a minimum of three renewal cycles, or six years, should a nurse be selected for an audit.

Ethan, RN
GREAT EDUCATION
"I completed the CEUs I needed in a few days and my license was renewed an hour and a half after the application for renewal was posted. There was no question or doubts about the CEUs from Nurse CE Central. Thank you!"
Victoria, RN
THE ONLY WAY TO GO
"Nurses! This is the only way to go! Someone who finally appreciates the fact that we work hard enough on our jobs. Thank you!"
Patel, RN
THE GREAT PROCRASTINATOR SAVED
"As I am the Great Procrastinator I waited until about 4 days before the deadline to renew my license. I had a few CEUs but with the deal on 30 CEUs I took the entire course. The CEUs that I had taken through my company was taking 2-3 hours online for one and two CEUs. The 30 that I got through Nursing CE Central took a total of about 18 hours online, and presented a lot of new and updated information. Well worth the money and the effort. I recommend them for sure."
Meghan, RN
EASY, COMPREHENSIVE, AND APPLICABLE TO ALL AREAS OF NURSING
"The course was very easy to sign-up for and get started. The nursing review had complete and in-depth information on each topic. The section review had questions which helped to critically think about what we learned and apply the education to our individual setting as a nurse. I was able to start and stop and completed all the learning on my phone efficiently. Thank you!"
