Late RenewalsOnline License Center Click here to renew your nursing license via the Internet. Renewals that are postmarked after midnight on the 15th of the birth month, and prior to the 16th of the following month are considered late renewals, requiring payment of the $50 late fee in addition to the $99 renewal fee. This is true even if the renewal was initially postmarked prior to the 15th of the birth month. The most recent postmark is the one used to determine whether the license is to be considered late. Board of Nursing rules do not prohibit the practice of nursing during the 30 day grace period. However, the employer has the prerogative to prohibit practice during this time frame. Licensees may continue to obtain continuing education during the 30 days after expiration, but anyone renewing late will be audited. Board staff does not have the authority to waive the $50 late fee. A licensee may submit a Petition for Waiver of the late fee for review by the board. |
