MBON to renew or not to renew

Published

So I just graduated nursing school in May and got my license in June. Amazingly enough, my license is set to expire at the end of October 😑 (Thank you MBON). Anyway, I just found out that on top of all that, I have to redo my fingerprinting and background check that I just submitted for my initial application in May. I just moved to North Carolina for a job and am currently working on getting my license switched here since NC is compact. So should I let my MD license expire? It's listed as MD only now that I've moved. Would it be worth renewing? I'm really kind of unsure of what to do. I know I'll be staying in NC for at least 3 years since I had to sign a contract down here. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I don't understand how they could have presented you with a license, and you didn't pass the background check process.

The OP passed the background for initial licensure. It is required for renewal as well.

It sounds like you have a temporary license.

It is not a temporary license.

Oh ok. Thanks for the clarification. It must be something new. I just renewed my license in May for two years without having to do a background check. I passed my nclex July of last year and my birthday is in July.
