Nursing licenses must be renewed periodically, usually every 1-3 years, depending on the state. The renewal process typically involves:
1. Submitting a Renewal Application: This can usually be done online through your state’s Board of Nursing website. 2. Paying a Renewal Fee: A fee is generally required to renew your license. 3. Completing Continuing Education: As mentioned, you may need to provide proof of completed CE units. 4. Criminal Background Check: Some states require periodic background checks as part of the renewal process.
