Need license renewal help

[slvroman1]

I have a current Illinois active RN license. It runs out in May of this year. I have not worked in 9 years but have kept my license active. What do I need to do. I now see there are CEd's required. I feel overwhelmed and not sure where to start? I want to keep my license active in case I ever need to return to work. I am a SAH mom right now. Please help,

Thanks,

Stacey

Illinois accepts any CEU accepted by any other state BON.

Keep a log and all your certificates. When you renew, you attest that that you've completed the CEU.

You may be audited, meaning you then just supply them the proof of CEU earned.

I had to get my ceus with some coworkers at this one site called illinoisnurseceu.com. Was pretty easy but of course had to do at lof reading. Im definitely not going to wait the last minute to do my ceus next time

nurse.com has enough free ceu to earn your credits

Hello everyone! I passed my US licensure exam last August 2012, I am still here in the Philippines and will not be able to renew my license next year because they require SSN upon renewal.

I think I will not be in the US in 5years time due to retgrogression. I am concerned because the lady from IDFPR told me that if I am not physically practicing my nurse license in the US for more than 5 years even though I am an active registered nurse in the Philippines, I have to re-take my licensure exam! :nailbiting:Can somebody please clarify this to me? What do I have to do in order for me not to retake my NCLEX exam? Thank you!
