Using HIVE Nurse for your hours
HIVE Nurse is approved as a provider of continuing nursing education by the Florida Board of Nursing (CE Provider #50-57054). Boards differ on whether they accept CE from a provider approved by another state’s board, so check Oregon’s rules before you count a course.
The renewal checker builds your own list from these rules and can remind you before your license expires.
