This means you can take as many courses as you need to renew your Michigan RN / LVN license, and you have the freedom to take even more courses to further expand your knowledge. We've even created the Michigan Renewal Bundles Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 (included with enrollment), which contain all 27 contact hours split into 3 convenient, Michigan BON-compliant bundles.
