Virginia LPNs must meet continuing competency requirements for license renewal. Virginia provides several options for satisfying this requirement.

An LPN may meet the requirement by completing ONE of the approved options, including:

✓ 30 contact hours of workshops, seminars, conferences, or courses relevant to the practice of nursing; OR

✓ 15 contact hours of continuing education plus 640 hours of active nursing practice; OR

✓ Another continuing competency option recognized by the Virginia Board of Nursing.

For LPNs choosing the 30-contact-hour option, all 30 hours must be completed. Portions of different continuing competency options cannot be combined to meet the requirement.
