Nevada Pharmacist CE Courses (2026)
To renew your Pharmacist license in Nevada you need to satisfy the Nevada State Board of Pharmacy's continuing education (CE) requirement — about 30 hours per 2-year cycle. Below is what the board requires and a comparison of course providers that offer qualifying CE. This is an unofficial guide — confirm any course is board-approved before you buy.
What Nevada requires for Pharmacist renewal
| CE hours required | 30 hours per cycle |
|---|---|
| Renewal cycle | 24 months |
| CE tracking system | CPE Monitor |
| Governing body | Nevada State Board of Pharmacy |
A full cycle requires 30 CPE hours over the two years (the board calculates CE owed at a rate of 1.25 hours per month of licensure during the cycle, totaling 30 hours for a 24-month period). All pharmacists living or practicing in Nevada must include 1 hour of approved Nevada pharmacy law CE each renewal, which can be earned via the board's free online law program, a live board-presented program, or attending one full day of a board meeting in person (the law hour cannot be substituted by any other program). Detailed CE requirements and exceptions are set in NAC 639.330 and 639.335. New graduates are exempt from CE for the first 2 years after graduation only. Pharmacists administering immunizations have a separate annual immunization-related CE obligation. The board pages reviewed did not state separate fixed numeric requirements for controlled-substance/opioid or patient-safety topics beyond the law-CE hour.
