Advice please..Thanks!:nurse:

Yes. The Vermont website does contain that much information regarding renewals. As far as I have read, they would just me a mail the for for renewal. No fee, requirements or continuing education units, were mentioned. I have not yet received the mail regarding the renewal but I just want to know in advance so that I can set aside the money needed. Thanks

I don't get it, why don't you guys just contact the Vermont BRN for that information? What is so hard to understand? It's clear on the website what is required. If someone still has questions the best source to get it from is the BRN itself. If Someone can't understand what the directions are on the BRN websites then how can ANY state board of nursing expect these people to function as nurses in the health care setting? I'm sorry if I sound rude, but the BRN websites are pretty clear in what they are asking. Come on, really, if you have a question just ask them. Vermont is really good at getting back promptly via email. Good Luck to all
