Does Nursys e-Notify track CE hours?

The e-Notify pages checked on 23 September 2026 list license status, expiration, and discipline. CE hour tracking is not on that list. NCSBN also says you send your own course certificate to the board of nursing.

Should a nurse turn off e-Notify and use this app instead?

No. Keep e-Notify if you want the free license-status alerts, and keep it if Delaware, Missouri, Nebraska, or Washington requires the account. Use this app for CE hours and courses.

Continuing Education Tracking App vs Nursys e-Notify

Nursys e-Notify is free and already reminds nurses about license expiration, status, and discipline. We do not replace it. We track CE hours and link courses. e-Notify's published features do not list CE tracking.
