What does it cost to renew your license?

Nurses General Nursing

I was chatting with a friend who is an RN in Canada (I'm NOT playing the RN card as opposed to just saying nurse---I don't think Canada has LPN's--I could be wrong--and don't want to offend anyone!) and she was saying that the yearly cost of her license is going up by $100 to $566---per year!

It made me curious as to what the "going rate" is around the US for license renewal?

In WI it's $88 (I think!) for a 2 year licensure--how about where you practice?

I have just paid $157 registration fee for 1 year plus $160 application fee in Australia. We have national registration. It is my first year so I have to pay the application fee as well.

I think I paid $60 in Texas. I'm up for renewal again in a few months so I guess I'll find out, lol.

Renewal fees just depend on where you live.
