Nursing license

I will lose my nursing license in April 2016 because I do not have a conferred degree. I am currently taking biology the class I need to complete my degree. My question is do I go on leave until I complete degree considering associate degree is required in nurse practice act? Yes I have posted before so please no negative comments I am an excellent nurse and love my patients and my job. I was honest and told the board myself because I was trying to get bachelor degree and Wgu caught mistake.

    Technically, you are practicing Nursing without a license RIGHT NOW! What state are you working in? Most employers will TeRminate you Immediately for any license issue. They are liable for your practice.

    What you do may not be up to you. This is a question/conversation that needs to take place with your employer - ultimately, it will be their decision how to handle your loss of license and therefore inability to carry out your obligations of employment.

    If you have a current license, you are licensed. When do you complete your course?

    I am standing in line to register for a class that will not make me a better nurse I evidentially don't even need it considering I passed nclex 7 years ago but I must return to college and pay 1000.00 so I will not lose license.
