| Retired RN's.... My nursing license isnt due to be renewed until next year, but I have already started trying to decide what is the best way to renew....?? Retired license ??? ?? Inactive license ?? I am real tempted to just continue to pay my $70.00+ dollars and continue with my continung CEUs....I do NOT want to have to go back to school for refresher courses if I were to decide I needed to return to work. If I DID have to return to nursing, it certainly would NOT be bedside...it would be something in management or UR or UM....nothing I actually see as a possibility, but you never know! I would appreciate any input from any retired nurses out there....what status did YOU use for your renewal of your nursing licenses? Last edited by Yorkiemom1; 05-26-2014 at 11:39 PM. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | If I were you, I'd keep it current. You would SO regret it if you needed a refresher course bc you'd have to go through a ton of didactic plus clinicals to get your license back.

| I retired last month but my license was due for renewal at the end of the month. I renewed as active. If I renewed as in active in nj I would still be required to obtain the CEUs. Besides, I have not yet decided what I want to do. I have previously volunteered and would like to continue with that. Mine was a management position and I have been offered a per diem position but I haven't taken it but who knows what I may decide down the line. I'm actually enjoying my present position as Director of Yorkie Nursing Good luck to you!

Congratulations!! I absolutely ADORE my "new job", Director of Yorkies at Rosehill, which I had held right along with my RN job at the hospital, but now I can devote 110% to the babies........I love it even more when I am awakened at 2:30am, it is storming and flooding outside, and I can just roll over, pull my little dogs up closer under the covers, and go back to sleep! But I like having all my bases covered and Ann, I am thinking along the very same lines you pointed out.....I was thinking I would just keep on doing what I have done since I graduated in '72.....and I can NOT imagine going thru all those clinicals, etc again after getting a taste of retirement! I wanted to get a concensus of ewrired nurses in YT, to see if they had any regrets for changes they made in their license status! Last edited by Yorkiemom1; 05-27-2014 at 08:57 AM. | |

| I kept mine current for some time after I retired; but when the reality hit that I was not going to return to nursing, I went inactive. I found it to be a waste of money. It was in another state anyway and I would have had to get one here in Texas as I have no intention of leaving here. No regrets at all.
