No More Hard Copies of License?

Published

Seems that New Mexico no longer issues a hard copy of the nursing license. http://www.bon.state.nm.us/lookupinfo.php

I was getting anxious about not receiving my renewed license, and discovered this while looking up the BON to give them a call. What other states have done away with paper/plastic/etc. licenses?

Wierd, WA state sent me mine and I didn't ask for it. So I was a little surprised to find it in the mail last week. Maybe it's because I'm a new grad and it was my first license?

Initial licenses are still being issued on paper.

Oregon has stopped issuing hard copies.

That must be it. I didn't get one for my renewal and remember receiving a letter about it. I did get one for my initial license when I endorsed to WA last year.

About 5 years since I've had a hard copy of my license in Maryland.
