I graduated nursing school in Ohio in 2016 and got my first RN job right away. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out and I quit before orientation was over, only 3-4 months into the job. I lost confidence in myself and just started waitressing again and I’ve been doing that for 3 years. My RN license has been expired since October 2017. If I want to get back into nursing, and renew my RN license, how do I do it? I heard you have to take a refresher course but where can I find more info about that? Any info is appreciated. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every state is different and you may get conflicting information. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you do anything like that or just let it lapse? In MA, if you're inactive, you have to complete some contact hours and pay a fee to reactivate. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
