Hello, I took the NCLEX on July 2011. (North Carolina) On the Board of Nursing site, it says that my license will expire at 08/31/2012. (August is my birth month) My question is, how come my license expires in just ONE year? Isn't the license supposed to be active for 2 years after licensure? Do I have to click the 'renew' option on BoN and pay to have it extended to the full 2 years? Or is the license supposed to expire in 1 year? Thank you very much.
