Watch out when renewing your license

Be sure to watch for when it is getting close to your renewal period for renewing your license. The Board is getting fingerprints on every licensed nurse that has not already submitted fingerprints and they are also conducting CEU audits. So, if you wait until a couple of weeks prior to the end of your renewal period, you might find yourself without an active license to practice with. And do not be fooled by the Board's wording about "delinquent" licenses, if you do not have an active license, you can not work as a nurse. There is no grace period while your license is delinquent.

So, play it safe and renew 2 months prior to the end of your renewal period.
