Hello! Im looking for some advice on keeping my license active. Worked for about 4 years in med Surg with my BSN. After I had my 1st child and my husband started his medical residency I chose to stay home but Ive been able to maintain an active nursing license here in Florida by keeping up with CEs and paying fees. My husband finishes his residency in June and we will be moving to Arizona. Im currently pregnant with baby #3 and don't see myself going to work in the next several years but would hate for my license to change to inactive. Ive looked at the AZ board requirements and it doesn't look like im going to be able to maintain an active nursing license bc I haven't working 980 hrs in the past 5 years (Ive worked about 480). Is there something I could do from home to earn those hours? if not what is a refresher course like? How long are they typically and how much should I expect it to cost?

Yeah same. I am just nervous as it is getting close to the holidays. I am going on a week long cruise with my family over christmas and new years. I am afraid that with no cell service I MAY risk missing an important call!

I still have not heard anything yet. Has anyone received an interview?

Has anyone heard anything? I applied a few weeks ago and still no word...

thanks so much! how did you do?? iv have heard that there is a lot of mental health. is it llike theraputic communication stuff or more like drugs and disorders? wish me luck! i take it a week from tomorrow!

thanks so much for the quick reply!! i really appreciate it! and congrats to you!! i hope that i will be in your shoes in the next month or so! :)

cocoa12cosmo how did you end up doing!?! i have to take it in about week and a half and im way stressed!! any advice??

I have to take the ATI test in the next couple weeks. We have to score a 71% or better on it to graduate. Apparently getting a 71% or better gives us a 90% chance of passing NCLEX. Has anyone taken this test recently and if so do you have any suggestions about how to study or what to focus on? Thanks for the help!
