I thought I would have gotten some info when I got my license. Now I'm worried I should be doing something that I'm not doing.

Please enlighten me! THANKS

Have you checked to see what the BON states?

Just had a quick look and all I can find is this If you are currently under a conditional registration, you must provide the appropriate Board office with proof of your compliance with the continuing education requirement to complete your renewal application. In addition, if you are required to submit documentation related to child abuse identification or infection control training, you may fax it to 518-474-3004 to complete your renewal application.

You may need to contact the BON for clarification

You need to take the child abuse course every 4 yrs I believe, but there are exceptions /waivers for certain situations. on the NYS BON site it has a listing of courses offered both online and brick and mortar which ever you choose!

not sure about the child abuse-haven't taken it again since i graduated....but infection control is mandatory every couple of years-i just updated that. other than that no ceu's are required here in ny. just pay up to the office of professions. correct me if i am wrong. :twocents:

thank you. this is what I thought since I never got any info when I got my license telling me I had to do ceu's or anything. I assume they'll tell me when I need to update anything????

Hey, I have a question, I am trying to do the license endorsement to NY and I have heard an information that when it comes to renewal time, you need to show a proof that you have worked (at least one day), i don't know if this is true, pls help me out here.

I recall the renewal asking me about where I worked and how often, but there was no documented proof I needed to supply them with.
