Are you applying to the same BON that you applied for initially? (notice you have taken before)

But which BON are you taking the NCLEX with? Is it the initial board of nursing in the US you applied to or are you applying to a new board of nursing?

Because you are going to have to restart the application for RN process from the beginning due to your first application expiring then if the BON requires your local license to be active then you will need to renew it. If unsure on license having to be active I would suggest you contact them to find out
