All nurses selected for the CE Audit must create
a Free Basic CE Broker account. Information regarding CE Broker and activation of or access to an account is available at CE Broker.

All required documents must be submitted within CE Broker for the CE Audit.
The following links provide information on annual continuing education requirements, documents to verify compliance, and how to report them within CE Broker.

CE Audit FAQs
Why was I selected for the CE Audit?
A random selection of nurses is generated by CE Broker every year following renewal.
What can I do if I cannot provide proof of completion of the CE requirements?
Nurses who did not complete their continuing education requirements or cannot provide proof of completion of continuing education, must complete the requirements immediately, and submit all required documentation to the KBN with a letter of explanation. If eligible, the nurse will receive a consent decree to sign and return with a civil penalty.
If the individual fails to respond or does not complete the required hours, the matter will be referred to the KBN Investigations Branch.
