renewing license last minute

Nurses Professionalism

Published

For some reason I didn't get the paperwork to renew my license. My DoN asked if I had renewed and was surprised I had not. I did so on line, but only with 5 days remaining and 2 of them are weekend days. What happens if I don't hear by the end of the month? Also, there was a question about being suspended or fired. I answered honestly that I had, but that case is also being handled by a lawyer and looking like it will go in my favor. That being said, how do I get that off my record? Do I just call the state? Thanks.

SO -- how did it all work out?? :)

Glad it got taken care of.

To avoid this happening again, immediately schedule a reminder in your calendar for the next renewal ;)

Every time I've renewed my license- which has been 4x now- it automatically updates itself online as soon as I click the "submit payment" button. My BoN doesn't send out any paperwork. Your license expires on your birthday in even years if you're an RN and odd years if you're an LPN. The BoN assumes you can remember your own birthday. FWIW, the RMV in my state doesn't send out reminders about renewing drivers' licenses or registrations either.

I doubt the BoN keeps a "record" of your being fired or disciplined at work. Only disciplinary actions against licenses are recorded and those are public record.

To be fair, in some states (such as Vermont), if a nurse's employment is involuntarily terminated (a.k.a. fired), managers are required to report the termination to the state BON.

The BON in the state where I reside doesn't give a rat's behind about terminations unless the nurse violated one or more board rules or regulations.
