Rule 216 related to Continuing Competency requires nurses to complete

10 contact hours of continuing education within 6 months
30 contact hours of continuing education within 3 years
20 contact hours of continuing education within two years preceding license renewal
No specific continuing education requirements

The correct answer is: 20 contact hours of continuing education within two years preceding license renewal

Rule 216 of the Texas Board of Nursing (BON) related to Continuing Competency requires nurses to complete 20 contact hours of continuing education within the two years preceding license renewal. This rule ensures that nurses stay up-to-date with the latest advancements and best practices in nursing. Option A is incorrect because 10 contact hours within 6 months would not meet the 20 contact hours requirement within 2 years. Option B is incorrect as 30 contact hours within 3 years also does not align with the specific requirement set by Rule 216. Option D is incorrect because there are indeed specific continuing education requirements outlined by the Texas BON. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as it accurately represents the continuing education requirement mandated by Rule 216 for Texas nurses.
