How much does your state charge for your nursing license?

Nurses General Nursing

I was wondering how much states charge for renewal of licenses. I am an RN and Indiana charges $50 during the year in which you renew. We renew every other year in Indiana. LPN's in the even years, RN's in odd years. I think LPN licenses are the same as RN's. I am curious to see how much other states charge. I know Indiana will sock you with a $50 late fee also. :eek: :eek: A couple of my friends got nailed with that. Ouch.

It's $100 ( Oz $$ that is!)here in South Australia!!

We have to renew our registration every year on 31st August. Then you must present your new practising certificate to your employer for verification & inclusion in your records. If you don't, you can't work!!...

I'm with the Indiana crew--wow quite a few of us. It was $85 in Alabama 2 years ago with 32? ceu's required. Remind me not to move to Ca or SC..whew or southern Australia...no wait I'd pay that for a chance to live there.

Not getting into the last comment re the power

L wonder though if that will mean that the other states will start jumping up as well - they havent risen in Vic and NSW for some time now - hope not - not when you then have to add in your ANF fees (if your a member) - still l guess they are both Tax deductiable

Carn Tiges - not that l can talk about our year at all really.

75 buckaroos every other year here in Tennessee. We've recently rec'd notification that, beginning in January, 2004, we shall be required to provide documentation of proof of competency. There are 15 items that we can choose 2 from in which to provide proof of competence. Hmmm :rolleyes:

OMG- $215 for your nursing license? :eek: :eek: Definitely marking Alaska off my list of places to live. (Not that it was on there in the first place). No offense, but I am not suited for cold climates and darkness 23 hours a day.
