How much does your state charge for your nursing license?

Nurses General Nursing

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

Specializes in ER, Occupational Health, Cardiology.

$60 the last time I renewed RN in GA last yr.

Iowa's renewal rate is $99.00 now. And the LPN license is now the same as the RN. (Of course salaries are not even in the same ball park!).

If it's based on amount of paperwork, they ought to be the same.

whatever we pay its entirely too much....

I think I paid $125 last year

and that was only to the college of nurses of ontario

here in this wonderful province we have 3 ppl to pay, the cno (colloge of nurses of ontario) , ONA (ontario nurses association) AND RNAO (registered nurses association of ontario)

ONA Is another 50 bucks a month taken right off your paycheck, RNAO is a whopping 260 dollars a year

but what can you do?

sometimes I leave work, sit down and think that they should be paying us for our licenes , not vice versa......

You only pay ONA if you are a member.... I am not, so I save the union dues.

And I'm not a member of RNAO, and never have been.

My workplace reimburses me for 1/2 of my license cost, since I am part time. They give the full-timers the whole amount back.

And in Ontario, we also have to do the whole Quality Assurance thing, and they "audit" a select number of nurses each year, to make sure that we are doing our continual learning and peer reviews. If you don't fill out on the form that you have met your Quality Assurance goals, they send your forms back to you, and you quite likely will be "audited" for your educational paperwork and peer reviews.
