CE Broker. Spreadsheets. Just... remembering. None of it works when you're juggling multiple state licenses. Here's what's different.
CE Broker only covers a handful of states. Spreadsheets don't send reminders. And “just remembering” is how nurses end up paying $400 to reinstate. RenewRN covers all 50 states, tracks mandatory topics most nurses don't know about, and the free plan keeps you compliant forever.

RenewRN exists so this never has to happen to you.
A lapsed license means $200–$500+ in reinstatement fees, weeks without income, and the stress of not knowing if your career is okay. The free plan exists to prevent exactly this.

If your state requires CE Broker (FL, GA, SC, AL, MS, LA, DC), you must still report hours through their system. RenewRN isn't trying to replace that — it keeps your hours organized so when you report to CE Broker, you know exactly what to submit.
Built by a nurse who needed it. If you hold a nursing license in any state, the free plan has you covered.
