New York infection control training: the four-year cycle

New York does not require general contact hours for RN registration, but mandated training still applies.

Updated 2026-08-19 · Compliance team

New York is unusual: registration renewal does not hinge on a general contact-hour total for RNs. What it does require is specific mandated coursework, and infection control and barrier precautions is the one people forget.

The infection control requirement runs on a four-year cycle and must come from an approved provider. Child abuse identification and reporting coursework is a one-time requirement tied to licensure.

Because New York does not use electronic CE reporting, keep your certificates. Our reporting center produces a spreadsheet export formatted for New York audits, and staff can build batches for multiple learners at once.
