I took my state board exam a few days ago and passed. Today, I received my nursing license but I noticed that the expiration date is october 2012. However, Most of my friends/classmates that took it this summer have an expiration date of 2013. I did find out that one of my friends who recently obtained her license, her expiration date is also 2012 like mines. I was under the impression that the RN license is valid for 2 years.
Do you know the reason that some people have 2year expiration period on their license? and some people like myself license expires next year?
In NC, its due for first renewal at the end of your birth month, two years after you get the license. Mine works out nicely because I got my license in May, and my birthday is in March, so mine is good for 22 months, almost two whole years...
Here they do renewals every 2 years. I paid the full 2 years fee, but passing in July makes my license good only until February of 2012, the same as every other RN in my state. Same if I didn't pass until December---expires in Feb 2012
