I would contact the NM BRN and ask them personally if the certificates you got will be sufficient. Don't just send them with your renewal assuming they will accept them. Also go to the website and look and see if they have a list of accredited CEU schools and see if the ones that you did will be ok to use. Most BRN have those links to accredited schools for their state. Does NM require you to have at least 8 hours paid work experience from renewal to renewal as a RN before they renew? I'm curious because I've heard some licensing bodys do require that, unsure if it applies to nursing.

does NM BON have a number (that actually works)? coz i've tried emailing them before countless of times for some clarification bout the CE sites i used.. they took forever to respond and when they did, none of it really answered my simple questions. it's kinda annoying. *sigh*

and with regard to the work experience.. i've read their requirements for renewal of RN license and i didn't come across that one. just the 30 hours CEU, fee and the SS number (which i think is not applicable if you've never left Philippines yet.. im not totally sure though).

anyone here who has recently successfully renewed their nursing license thru NM BON?
please help!

Try faxing, and sending a certified letter with copies of your certificates and in that certified letter send a self addressed stamped envelope included. That's the best advise I can give. Also, keep calling to see if someone picks up.

hi! i need help in renewing my license.. i've read a lot of threads about renewing by NM BON and i came across a lot of people having problems with it. My license is expiring january 2010. I'm planning on renewing it this month as soon as i find out how to exactly do it. I already have a copy of the renewal form. I also have a few (free) CEs certificates. i'm thinking of buying one online that's worth 30 hours already. i'm confused thought.. would it be okay if i just send all the CE certificates i've gotten aside from the one i'm planning on buying online? coz i'm not even sure if some of them are credited by NM BON. i tried contacting them to clarify if they'll accept the ones i got right now, but they're not responding. anyway, i just want to make sure if that's just okay coz i dont wanna mess my application up as much as possible.

and oh, what else should i do after i fill up the form? which is better with the mode of payment?

ur response would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Janel! No need to send them the certificates. Just make sure you complete the 30 contact hours ,and one thing I'm not sure about is, if they accept free CEUs. I just renewed my license last month, I took my CEU at netce.com its not expensive compared to other sites, but I never took free CEU, just making sure it will get approved by the BON because you paid for it. They have promos and packages there bsta make sure you complete the 30 hrs. Fill up the renewal form and don't leave space unanswered. If the question is not applicable for you, put N/A or none.

About the mode of payment, I paid mine at BDO using "bankdraft" but make sure you have an account there. Or I think any bank would do as long as you have an account. They know what bankdraft is all about. Address it to New Mexico BON, the address we can see on the upper portion of the renewal form. I think, I paid $5 for it.

In one envelope put the form and bankdraft (looks like cheque) cost $91 if I'm not mistaken that's the payment for renewing the license. I sent it to them through Philippine postal service, speed mail costs less than a thousand. Ask them the tracking number so that you can trace it through usps.com, and be informed if the BON received it or not. You can use other courrier if you want like LBC, DHL, etc.

Mine got renewed after 3 weeks when I checked my license number at BON website. Thank God I encountered no problems with it... If you have questions feel free to ask.. God bless and good luck....

Keep contacting them. NM is the only one who can answer your question regarding the certificates. I wouldn't risk it because at anytime, they can ask you to provide them with the certificates stating that you did the education units. Some states will accept some certificates and not others. You have to go online and look on the NM BRN website and find out which CEU's they accept, if yours aren't on the list, then find a school on that list that NM will accept. Most BRN's that I've seen have the website for CEUs accepted. Good Luck

regarding about the primary state of residence, write in your real primary location, if you're in the Philippines just write Manila Philippines. its understandable that you're intending to practice in New Mexico but your papers are still on the process.

And if you plan to work in Florida but still in the Phil, just put New Mexico in the last part. Just like in my case, since im in Florida right now and planning to work here in the future i still put New Mexico and Florida on that part as my intended states to work for in the future.

Hope this help. if you have more question email me
coz i think we have the same case.
I am from Philippines too. However, I am from Malaybalay City. should i put MALAYBALAY, PHILIPPINES.. or Manila?

No problem. I'm just trying to help by sharing my experience because we have similar concerns regarding those stuffs, and one thing, we are living in the same country.

"Photocopies of certificates must be submitted to the Board office only if audited and /or requested" You better have copies of certificates in your hands just in case if they request for it.

Well, its still better to contact the NM BON for best assurance, because we never know. If you can contact them in any way possible that would be better and much better if they can provide you the best site for CE.

Goodluck!
