Keep evidence for an audit

Do not import another state’s CE rule into Missouri; use the current credential-specific Board requirement.

  • Keep certificates and provider details for the published retention period.
  • Confirm course completion falls inside the correct renewal period.
  • Do not assume RN and APRN requirements are identical.
  • Check whether the provider reports electronically or whether you must upload documentation.

Common CE problems

CE or competence is not accepted

Compare the course, provider, date, credential and documentation with the exact Missouri rule: The general Missouri RN/LPN renewal page does not state a routine CE-hour total. Follow current MOPRO prompts, Board rules and any APRN or specialty maintenance requirements. Retain evidence and use the authority’s upload or audit instructions.

Wrong credential rule

Return to the official source and match RN, LPN/LVN, APRN, first-renewal, certificate or assistant requirements before purchasing additional coursework.

Course not accepted

Confirm provider approval, topic, completion date and documentation against the authority instructions. A generic completion certificate does not prove acceptance.

Fraud and privacy safety

  • Begin every Missouri transaction from a reviewed authority domain (pr.mo.gov, mopro.mo.gov) or a source-reviewed link on this guide.
  • Do not give a caller payment-card details, a password or a one-time code merely because the caller claims to represent Missouri State Board of Nursing.
  • If threatened with immediate suspension or arrest, end the call and verify the issue through (573) 751-0681 or the secure Missouri account.
  • Use Nursys QuickConfirm to confirm current status rather than a private lookup page or emailed screenshot.
  • Upload identity, background, education or legal documents only through a secure method explicitly named by Missouri State Board of Nursing.
  • Before paying, verify the credential, transaction and amount against the current Missouri instructions; save the receipt and then verify the public record.
  • For Missouri, report a suspected licensing impersonation or phishing attempt to the authority and the relevant consumer-protection or law-enforcement channel.
