How is Kentucky unique?

The second exception, which coincides with heart disease, is the heart attack rate. In Kentucky, 6% of the adults have had a heart attack. Also, Kentucky has the highest regional rate of people with high cholesterol, at 41.6%. The regional average is 38.72%.

Accepted in all 🇺🇸 US states & 🇨🇦 Canadian provinces

Our certificates have an over 99% acceptance rate across employers in the US, Canada, and over 60 countries in the Eurozone, Asia and Africa. While someone in every state and province has accepted our courses, acceptance can vary by individual employer.

Our 100% money-back guarantee is good for 14 days and we guarantee your employer will accept our certificate and you will be satisfied.

Our ACLS, PALS and BLS courses are each certified for up to 8 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Some of our courses also offer ACPE, ANCC and ADA credits.

RN license transfer, renewal & continuing ed

Each state needs a competent medical workforce to meet the needs of its citizens. However, the requirements for some health care professions are not the same in each state. That is why it is important to find out what is required of you as a future or current registered nurse before moving across state lines. Contact information is located at the bottom of this page.

Endorsements

Kentucky is a compact state. If you are moving to Kentucky or claiming it as your primary state of residence, you will need to apply for licensure by endorsement to use your license in Kentucky. General instructions are listed below.

• Completed Online Endorsement Application with $165 application fee.
  • You may also complete a paper application request form, which costs an additional $40.
• Complete State Background Check.
• Complete Federal Background Check ($14.75).
• Submit a completed Verification of Licensure Form or verification via www.nursys.com.
• Complete a Jurisprudence Examination online after submitting the application. View Jurisprudence Examination information.
• Access the Paper Application Request Form.

You may renew your license online for $50. Renewals occur yearly before October 31.

Foreign nurses educated outside of the U.S. must complete the VisaScreen for Kentucky licensure. View VisaScreen process details.

Continuing competency

RNs must complete a one-time, 1.5-hour Pediatric Head Trauma course within three years after licensure. Find approved continuing education providers.

Generally, 14 contact hours (Board approved) or certification (or recertification) in a nursing-related program (must be from a national certifying organization) will satisfy continuing competency requirements. For further information, visit the Kentucky Continuing competency page, which includes mandatory courses.

There is also a one-time requirement to take a Domestic Violence CE course within three years of obtaining your KY license, and you must retain documentation until you retire your license. The CE earning period is from November 1 to October 31.
