What Wyoming requires for LPN renewal

CE hours requiredNo single fixed hour count — see details
Renewal cycle24 months
Governing bodyWyoming State Board of Nursing

Wyoming has no mandatory CE-hours requirement for LPN/VN renewal. Instead, the licensee must demonstrate continued competency by completing, within the prior two years, ONE of several options: 400 hours of practice as an RN/LPN/VN; 40 hours of continuing education; passing the NCLEX; completing a board-approved refresher course; or completing a nursing education program conferring a degree beyond basic nursing education. The 40 CE hours is only one of these alternative pathways, not a standalone mandate. (Separately, APRNs with prescriptive authority need 3 CE hours on controlled-substance prescribing/SUD, which does not apply to base LPN/VN renewal.)
