Renewal period: RN/LPN: Every 2 years.
RN requirement: No fixed CE-hour requirement; continuing competency/practice requirements
LPN / LVN requirement: No fixed CE-hour requirement; continuing competency/practice requirements
Mandatory topics: Continuing competency requirements apply; no blanket CE-hour requirement identified
Required courses: RN/LPN: CE requirements apply according to the South Dakota Board's current renewal/continuing-competency rules. Action: Verify the exact current CE-hour requirement and any mandatory topics on the Board's renewal page before publishing the final Fast CE comparison. Source: South Dakota Board of Nursing.
Good to know: South Dakota requires continuing education for renewal, but the requirement is based on the nurse's practice/CE status and Board rules, rather than simply assuming a universal number of hours from older Fast CE information. The Board should be used as the controlling source.
