For nurses in California, keeping your license current is only part of the job. The other part is staying current with best practices, evolving regulations, and the many changes in patient care. That’s why approval from the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) matters — and why we’re proud to announce that AMC is now officially a BRN-approved provider of nursing continuing professional development (NCPD).
Why BRN approval matters
In California, a registered nurse’s first license is issued for two birthdays, not two calendar years, and it expires on the last day of the month following the nurse’s birth date. After that, the license must be renewed every two years to remain active, along with proof of 30 contact hours of continuing education completed within the renewal period.
As a BRN-approved provider, American Medical Compliance (AMC) offers Nursing Continuing Professional Development (NCPD) courses that meet the California Board of Registered Nursing’s standards. Each course is designed to be relevant, accessible, and aligned with the professional growth needs of nurses and healthcare leaders. That means you’re not just completing required hours — you’re investing in trusted, high-quality education that strengthens your competence, confidence, and compliance.
What AMC’s BRN-approved NCPD means for you
If you’re a nurse working in California, here’s what this approval means in practical terms:
- You can choose AMC’s courses with confidence, knowing that contact hours will count toward your renewal.
- The content is developed with your day-to-day practice in mind: compliance, documentation, cultural competency, ethical decision-making.
- The format is flexible and designed for busy schedules: self-paced, online, accessible when you are.
- If you’re a nursing leader or manager, you can trust your team is receiving credible training that reinforces your quality standards.
- The ripple effect: better documentation, fewer compliance errors, stronger patient care — and fewer surprises when it comes to audits or license checks.
The kinds of training you’ll find
AMC offers a variety of courses that align with key needs for California nurses and healthcare facilities, including:
- Fraud, Waste & Abuse (FWA) training — especially critical as billing and reimbursement practices face increased scrutiny.
- Cultural Competency & Disability Awareness — honoring diversity and improving patient experience.
- Infection Control and Prevention — always a priority for patient safety and facility risk management.
- HIPAA & Data Privacy — protecting patient information and ensuring regulatory compliance.
- Ethical Documentation & Resource Safety — because how you document matters as much as what you document.
Each course is developed to be meaningful and applicable — not just “one more thing to check off.” It’s about strengthening your practice and building confidence.
Why this matters
Regulations shift, technologies evolve, patient populations change. For nurses and healthcare teams, the constant demands of patient care leave little margin for error — and fewer hours for training. That’s why providing a training solution that is high-quality and convenient is so important.
When your team completes relevant and current training, the benefits extend beyond the certificate:
- Reduced risk of billing or documentation errors.
- Improved patient care through up-to-date knowledge and practice.
- Greater staff confidence — when training feels relevant and accessible, engagement goes up.
- Better compliance performance — fewer audits, fewer corrective actions.
- Stronger reputation for your facility — as one that invests in its people and ensures high-quality practice.

Getting started is simple:
