FAQ
Does Illinois accept continuing education from Nursing CE central?
Yes, the Illinois Board of Nursing accepts continuing education from Nursing CE Central for purposes of license renewal.
Is the mandatory Illinois Sexual Harassment Prevention course included?
Yes! This required course is included in your membership. Once enrolled you will have access to all the courses you need for license renewal.
My employer provides a sexual harassment prevention training course. Does this satisfy the mandatory sexual harassment training requirement?
Maybe. In order for your employer’s CE course to satisfy the requirement it must:
1.) Be an approved Nursing CE provider
2.) Include all mandatory components of the course, as prescribed by the IDFPR (what is sexual harassment, how to respond to sexual harassment, reporting sexual harassment, and Whistleblower protections.)
3.) Provide a certificate for the course, which meets IDFPR standards.
If you are unsure, it is wise to contact your hospital educator to verify that the course meets the Nursing CE renewal requirements set forth in Section 1130.400 Sexual Harassment Prevention Training.
If you are unable to verify, we suggest taking a sexual harassment prevention course through an approved provider whose course is accepted by the Illinois Board of Nursing.

Illinois BON FAQ
How can I renew my license? Can I mail in a paper renewal application?
Illinois nurses must renew their license online through the Illinois Department of

Is the Illinois Board of Nursing waiving any renewal requirements this year due to COVID?
