However, it may not be up-to-date in all cases. If a nurse has been disciplined or convicted of a crime recently (within two years), you should call your state’s nursing board directly for more current information about that person’s license status

A nurse may renew an expired license by submitting all required renewal materials, paying all required fees, completing the Board’s continuing education requirement for re-licensure and meeting any other requirements set forth by law.
