APRN / nurse practitioner license

Renewal cycle
Biennial. NV RNs and APRNs renew on a 2-year cycle (NAC 632.343 governs CE timing per renewal biennium).
nevadanursingboard.org, as of 05/08/2026
Renewal fee
$200 APRN biennial renewal + $100 RN biennial renewal (as of 2026-05-08; NSBN Fee Schedule). Combined APRN+RN renewal is $300, equal to the sum of the parts. No grace period — late renewals incur a $100 late fee.
nevadanursingboard.org, as of 05/08/2026
Continuing education
APRNs must complete an additional 15 CEs directly related to their specialty per renewal cycle, including a 2-hour suicide prevention course every 4 years and a 2-hour substance use and abuse course every renewal cycle (NAC 632.2563). This is on top of the 30-hour RN base CE per biennium, which itself requires at least 4 hours of cultural competency/diversity/equity/inclusion plus a one-time 4-hour bioterrorism course, and (if providing or supervising emergency medical services in a hospital or primary care) 2 hours of HIV stigma/discrimination/bias training within 2 years of beginning that role. APRN must also have practiced at least 1,000 hours as an APRN within the previous five years; post-July-2014 graduates must maintain national certification.

State controlled-substance registration

Some states layer a state-level controlled-substance registration (CSR or CDS) on top of the federal DEA; others rely on the DEA alone. Where Nevadarequires one, it carries its own number, fee, and renewal clock — independent of the DEA cycle.

Required in this state
Confirm with Nevada controlled-substances regulator

We’re still verifying Nevada’s state CSR rules. Confirm with the Nevadacontrolled-substances regulator (often the Board of Pharmacy or a Department of Health office) before assuming you do or don’t need a state CSR alongside your DEA.

Track DEA + state CSR together with Larch’s DEA + CSR tracker.

Federal DEA registration

DEA registration is federal, not state-issued. DEA practitioner registrations renew on a three-year cycle and are tied to a specific practice address — multi-site clinicians typically hold one DEA per practice location, each with its own number and clock. The first renewal on or after June 27, 2023 also required a one-time MATE Act 8-hour training attestation; once attested, the credit carries forward.

See Larch’s DEA tracking page for details on the federal cycle, multi-site rules, and the MATE Act attestation requirements.

Common questions about Nevada renewals

Is Nevada a Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) state?
No — Nevada is not currently part of the Nurse Licensure Compact. Nurses practicing in Nevada need a Nevada-issued license regardless of their primary state of residence. Source: NCSBN compact map.
Does the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC) work for physicians in Nevada?
Yes — Nevada participates in the IMLC. Eligible physicians can use the compact's expedited pathway to obtain medical licenses in additional member states. Whether Nevada serves as a physician's State of Principal License or only as a license-issuing state varies; check the IMLCC for current specifics. Source: IMLCC.
Does the federal DEA renewal cycle differ in Nevada?
No. DEA practitioner registrations are federal and renew on a three-year cycle regardless of state. Registrations are tied to a specific practice address — not to the holder personally — so multi-site clinicians typically hold one DEA per practice location. Nevada's state-level controlled-substance registration, if it requires one, is separate from the federal DEA.
How does Larch keep Nevada's rules current?
A drift-detection job re-fetches each cited source on a weekly cadence and flags pages where the source content has changed since our last review. Where we don't have a verified detail, we surface "Confirm with [Board]" with a link to the issuing board — never a guess.
