Where on my income tax form do I put deductions for my nursing license renewal and the cost of my continuing education credits?

As a self-employed nurse they go on Schedule C.   As an employee you can not deduct.

If you are a regular W-2 employee, none of that is deductible, any more.

Even in the "old days" (2017), it was only an itemized deduction subject to the 2% of AGI rule.
