The five-part packet
- 01
The notice or renewal context
If the BRN sends a notice, follow its exact dates, delivery method, deadline, and document request. For routine preparation, record the renewal cycle and expiration date.
- 02
One CE course ledger
List the exact course title, provider, CEP number or documented exception, completion date, and contact hours for every counted course.
- 03
A certificate index
Give each original certificate or grade slip a consistent filename and match it to one row in the ledger.

Complete source documents
Keep the original completion proof—not only an invoice, dashboard screenshot, calendar entry, or spreadsheet total.

Keep the packet and originals under your control for the BRN-stated four-year retention period, with a separate backup you control.

Official rule first
The audit notice and live BRN guidance control.
The California BRN says RNs are subject to random CE audits and must retain certificates or grade slips for four years. ShiftProof is an independent organizer; it does not determine course eligibility, submit documents, or guarantee an audit result.
California RN CE audit packet FAQ
Do I need to be selected for an audit to organize a packet?
No. A regular or delinquent renewal is easier to reconcile when every CE row already matches its original certificate. If an audit notice arrives, its exact instructions control.
Does ShiftProof submit documents to the California BRN?
No. ShiftProof does not upload, transmit, or submit certificates. The organizer is an instant digital download that stays on the buyer’s device.
Does the $9 pack include continuing-education courses?
No. It contains an offline renewal organizer, CE record template, certificate index, and start-here instructions. It does not sell or award CE contact hours.
Can a ledger replace the completion certificates?
No. The California BRN says certificates or grade slips must be retained as proof. The ledger and index help reconcile the originals but do not replace them.
Does the packet guarantee renewal or a successful audit?
No. The current California BRN rules, the BreEZe record, and any account-specific notice control. ShiftProof organizes records and makes no compliance guarantee.
