How much does your state charge for your nursing license?

[deespoohbear]

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: A couple of my friends got nailed with that. Ouch.

In West Virginia the renewal fee is $25.00 every year with 30 CEU requirement every two years. 2 CEU's must be in end of life care with pain management.

If an individual lets their license lapse there is a $50.00 reinstatment fee plus the $25.00 renewal fee.

True about Alaska! $265 for license; an extra $50 for a temporary license if you need it when you first apply. And if you get you 1st license over 90 days before the renewal date (like I did!!!) (I got it in Jan and paid $265) you pay the entire renewal fee!! No pro-rating!!! (So I need to fork out another $250+) OH, WELL!!!

OMG! I have two provincial licences: Quebec and Ontario.

Quebec is about $270 per year (Canadian $) (my work pays for this one)

and Ontario is about $ 115 per year. (Canadian)

I live in Quebec, but my licence is only good for Quebec. The Ontario licence can have reciprocity to the other Canadian provinces. This is why I keep both. Luckily I don't have to pay them at the same time.
