Renewal Dangers

There is a new trap waiting for the unwary:

The Board of Nurses is getting fingerprints on every licensed nurse that has not already submitted fingerprints and they are also conducting CEU audits. So, if a nurse waits until a couple of weeks prior to the end of his/her renewal period, the nurse might be without an active license to practice with.

Don't be fooled by the Board's wording about "delinquent" licenses, if a nurse does not have an active license, he/she cannot work as a nurse. There is no grace period while the license is delinquent. The Board does not function like creditors where delinquent means that you are just late paying, delinquent for the Board means so much more.

Nurses be sure to renew 2 months prior to the expiration of your license and get those CEUs certificates organized to be sure that there are enough CEUs.
