You should complete the class within 90 days before your certification expires. This ensures compliance with the Maryland Board of Nursing regulations and avoids any lapse in certification.
What happens if I miss the renewal deadline?

Will I need to pass a test to complete the renewal course?
Most renewal courses include a brief assessment or competency check to ensure understanding of updated guidelines and safe practices, but the format can vary by instructor or institution.
Can I take the 4-hour renewal class online?
While some updates may be offered online, Maryland typically requires a board-approved clinical update that may include in-person components. Always check with the training provider for the approved format.
