Client Alert
April 29, 2026

If you are a registered nurse (“RN”) or an advanced practice registered nurse (“APRN”), you will want to take note of the new Ohio Board of Nursing (“OBON”) Rule that alters the reporting period for Continuing Education (“CE”) credits.

Effective March 26, 2026, Ohio Administrative Code Rule 4723-14-01(U) lists the RN and APRN reporting period for CE credits as July 1st through June 30th in the odd numbered years. This is a change from the previous reporting period of November 1st through October 31st in the odd numbered years.

RNs and APRNs must ensure that all required CE hours are completed by the new deadline to remain compliant with reporting requirements.

If you have any questions about how the new CE reporting period may impact you, please contact BMD Member Jeana Singleton at jmsingleton@bmdllc.com or 330-253-2001.
