I agree with you NursexOx. Its been 3 years since my certification has expired, but since I have 13 years experience and have spoken with the registrar to approve reinstating it if I test or take the course (maybe) depends on the agency, I start right up. @ Eduardo, look at nursing facilities oppose to Hospitals where you could discuss this issue and you may be able to have the opportunity to gain those hours and report it to the registry before your four months are up.
