Connecticut LPN CE Courses (2026)

What Connecticut requires for LPN renewal

Connecticut does not impose a general per-cycle continuing-education contact-hour total for LPNs. The only mandated CE is a one-time requirement (and once every six years thereafter for those renewing on/after Jan 1, 2022) of 2 contact hours of training/education on mental health topics including post-traumatic stress disorder, suicide risk, depression and grief, and suicide prevention. One contact hour equals at least 50 minutes of instruction. Qualifying activities include courses approved/offered by the American Nurses Association, Connecticut Hospital Association, Connecticut Nurses Association, the Connecticut Center for Nursing Workforce, specialty nursing societies, hospitals/health-care institutions, regionally accredited academic institutions, or state/local health departments. Because there is no fixed annual contact-hour count, the per-cycle hours figure is left null.
