    I don't list the license number or the expiration date. There's no need. If the company wants to know my license number then they can look online.

    I list:
    Registered Professional Nurse (active), state, and the date I was first licensed.

    Prior to online nursing license verification, I did list my license # in resume header.
    Today, I list info as separate section:

    License and Certifications:

    PA license issued: 7/22/1982 Active
    NJ license issued:12/28/1992 Active
    BLS for Healthcare Providers issued: 2/4/2012

    For experienced nurses concerned about age discrimination, I would list just state and active.
    I no longer list Medical/Surgical, RN,BC credential as let is lapse upon assuming management position.

    The first thing I check on receiving RN application is license status- saves my time interviewing those with practice stipulations as employer does not permit hiring. Indicate if your license name differs from current name used saves my time too.
