License renewal

Washington DC isn't a state but it's our countries capital. Technically it isn't a state but it lies in both Maryland and Virginia. You intend to practice in Washington DC? Or do you mean Washington State which is located on the West Coast? You really should contact that BON and see what your options are. You want to make sure you have all your CEU's and make sure that they're accepted by the BON way before it expires. Good Luck

Oh sorry about that, didnt know that Washington DC is not a US state, but yes thats where I obtained my license and also where I intend to practice. Washington DC, the capital, where the White House is and not Washington state. Honestly, I was hoping that someone here could at least give me some advise regarding the paid inactive status which I have seen in their website before I call, because calling them is a bit expensive since I will be doing International call. Calling without having any idea regarding all possible issues may eat a lot of time and not to say a lot of money specially if you will include the wait time before I will be connected to the correct department.

On the other hand, if I will go with renewing my license and still remain active, I do need CEUs. It will increase my knowledge and help me in the future but then again, it will be a lot of money out of my pocket. So again, I would like to hear from those who have at least a little idea on the different options that I can take on renewing my license in Washington DC.

BTW, thanks for your reply nursecubanita and I am sorry if coining Washington DC as a state somehow confused you but thats where I intend to work in the future.

Actually, I already did before I posted this in the International forum, I just thought that posting on both fora/forums will somehow increase the chance of having someone help me.
