If you hold a Georgia LPN license, the Georgia Board of Nursing requires you to satisfy continued competency each biennium by completing 20 hours of continuing education — or one of the Board's alternatives, such as completion of an accredited academic nursing program. CE is reported through CE Broker. Below is the full breakdown of what counts and when it is due.
20 hours / 2 years
Twenty contact hours each biennial renewal cycle, or a competency alternative.
Competency options
Completing an accredited academic nursing program can satisfy the requirement instead.
CE Broker
Documentation is submitted through CE Broker.
No provider approval
Georgia does not approve individual CE providers.
How Georgia LPNs meet continued competency
Georgia requires 20 hours of continuing education every two years, or one of the Board's competency alternatives such as completion of an accredited academic nursing program.
Mandated subject requirements
Georgia does not mandate a specific CE subject for LPN renewal; the 20 hours are elective. Documentation is reported through CE Broker.
Renewal cycle and deadlines
Georgia LPN licenses renew biennially. Complete and report your 20 hours (or competency alternative) before your expiration date.

Licensed in more than one state?
Nurse Licensure Compact: active. Active. One multistate RN/LPN license from the home state authorizes practice in member states; practice-state requirements (including CE) may still overlay.
Each state license carries its own CME requirement and renewal date — if you hold more than one, you need a plan for each.
