Requirements: |
The Board requires licensees to practice in some manner for at least 960 hours every 5 years, either as an employee or volunteer, to renew or obtain licensure. “Practice” is interpreted liberally. Any job or position that requires or recommends an RN or LPN license would meet the criteria as will any activity performed as an employee or volunteer that is within the legal scope of nursing practice. In addition to bedside nursing, such activities as teaching nursing, supervising care, consulting, clinical experience in a nursing program, serving as a volunteer with a nursing organization or volunteering in health screenings will also qualify as practice. In most instances, caring for family members would not qualify. Call Pamela Randolph at 602-889-5209 or Judy Bontrager at 602-889-5204 if there are questions related to care of family members.
