Continuing-education requirements for Pharmacists in Nevada

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.

Good to know: Renewal fee ($200 biennial) and the late penalty come from the Nevada Administrative Code fee schedule (NAC 639.220), which sets the registered-pharmacist biennial renewal at $200 and a late penalty of 50% of the renewal fee per delinquency period (so $100 for the first delinquent period; it compounds per additional period per NRS 639.170). The board's own renewal web page does not publish a dollar amount. CPE Monitor (NABP) is referenced indirectly: the board notes its free Nevada law CE is "NOT reported to CPE Monitor," implying other accredited ACPE CE is tracked via CPE Monitor — treat this as likely but verify directly with the board. Pharmacists with 50+ years of Nevada registration are exempt from the biennial pharmacist renewal fee. Reinstatement of a lapsed registration costs an additional $100 plus renewal fees for the lapse period. Do not confuse with pharmacy technician (50 dollar) or facility/permit (500+ dollar) fees.
