Nevada respiratory care practitioner license renewal and continuing education
Nevada rule NAC 630.530 states that the license “may be renewed biennially upon dates set by the Board” only with satisfactory proof “Of current certification by the National Board for Respiratory Care or its successor organization” and of the required continuing education hours (paraphrased).

Source read on November 12, 2026: NAC chapter 630, Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners.
Hours
The rule lists 20 hours for a licensee licensed during the first 6 months of the biennial registration period, stepping down to 5 hours for the fourth 6 months (paraphrased).
Named courses
Sixty percent of the hours must come from an approved source directly related to respiratory care, and “Two hours of this 60 percent must be in medical ethics.” The other forty percent may be in AARC-approved programs or programs another organization offers with board approval (paraphrased).
