How many total years can a Temporary Education Permit (TEP) be renewed for?

In Nebraska, a Temporary Education Permit (TEP) can indeed be renewed for a maximum of 5 years. This provision allows pharmacy students or graduates who are engaged in practical training or internship hours to legally practice under specific supervisory conditions while completing their education requirements. The 5-year limit reflects the understanding that it may take some time to complete necessary educational and licensure processes, ensuring that individuals have adequate opportunities to fulfill their training without being rushed. As a result, this flexibility supports the continuous professional development of future pharmacists while maintaining a regulatory framework for practice in the state.
