Hi guys, im about to send my renewal application to NM BON, fortunately i read a thread here saying that i should comply first the 30 Contact Hours required for license renewal.

For those peeps who have renewed their NM license, can u kindly help me out to find what website i should go to for the 30 contact hours requiremnt. a link would be of help for me.Thank a lot. =)

try medscape and nurse.com

i'm just not sure if nm bon would credit those ceus. i've been inquiring from the bon but they're not giving me a straight clear answer to my simple questions. can anyone help?

thanks for the respond. i myself also is inquiring about this, i emailed several times to nm bon but they didnt reply. anyway one of my friend who had renewed her licesned used www.nursingeducationofamerica.com/ for the online contact hours requiremnt. hope this one help to you too.

thanks!

is ur friend NM licensed too?

just take the FREE CEUs.. they usually only have like 1-2 hours credit per certificate but u can try other sites too so you can complete d 30 hours. i just had my pc reprogrammed so i lost my saved links to those sites. if i'll remember i'll just post it here.

Yup she's licensed in NM. Oh by the way if anyone here knows what website that has free CEUs please post them here for all of us. thank you.

btw, does anyone know if domestic violence and medical errors courses can be counted in 30 hours of contact requiremnt? Thanks!

hello everyone! im about to renew my license in new mexico. i have yet to step foot in the US since there is retrogression. i have a slight concern in answering the renewal form of NM.

based on the form, (http://www.bon.state.nm.us/forms/RN_LPN_Renewal_Mar09.pdf -- for your reference) it asks:

G. Principal location of work in nursing:

State __________ County ______________________

Zip ____________ City ________________________

I do not know how to answer since it doesn't specifically ask for a country. it assumes i have work in the US. should i answer New Mexico (but it's not true, i only intend to work there once i get my visa) or just state Philippines (which is true since i am working in the philippines)?

thank you for your help guys! better safe than sorry.

=)

Try www.learningext.com. They offer CEus there, actually it's under ncsbn. But it's not for free. Try to check it out for more info. And by the way, that site is approved by all BON states. Thanks God bless

thanks guys for posting the link to all the websites that offers free CE's.

to killjoyako: i think you should put in N/A to all the blanks that is not applicable to answer, since your paper will not qualify for the application if u leave anything unanswered there. i think theres an instruction there to fiil out completely the form and do not to leave a blank. hope this helps.:)

hi

I have a problem in renewing my license.....I'm planning to send the renewal form by fax...and pay thru credit card...but i'm not sure if I send the form thru fax the payment will automatically be deducted to my credit card.

And I also want to ask, about the declaration of primary state of residence..I don't know how to fill it up...

It says I declare the state of ______ as primary state of residence.....Upon licensure in new mexico I intend to practice in _____

I'm from the Phils. and intend to practice in Florida

Thank you

Answer it honestly that is a legal document and untruth will haunt you.
