Ohio BON, liscense renewal questions

Published

Good day everyone! i just want to ask some questions in behalf of my wife. What are the legalities in renewing my wife's license in ohio as a nurse? We are still residing in the phil and her license will soon expire. Does she need to inform ohio boards that she still don't have any legal residency in US even if they were able to issued a license already?

Thanks!

For most it is a case of meeting any BON requirements like CEU's when renewing. Have you checked to see if anything is written on their website?

Additional comment about the CEU's for Ohio renewal: The CEU's need to include one hour of credit pertaining to the licensure of nurses in Ohio. And you will definitely need to keep your CEU certificates, since they will randomly audit them to make sure you have actually done them.

And as a nurse who has an Ohio license--but lives in another state-- I can tell you that they love to audit people who do not live in Ohio to make sure they have completed that one hour of credit!

You also need to tell them your current address. If it was in the Philippines last time, and it is still in the Philippines, they may not care. But as silverdragon said, you will have to check their website for the actual requirements...
