The Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission is moving towards a paperless system beginning April 1st, 2009, with a revised licensure renewal process. Nurses will continue to receive a courtesy renewal reminder card by mail 8-10 weeks before their birthday. Payment must be mailed back to the Nursing Commission recognizing that at least two weeks are needed to process the renewal. After receipt of payment, the Nursing Commission will update their “provider credential search” website for the individual nurse showing the license has been renewed. A paper license will NO LONGER automatically be mailed, unless specifically requested by the nurse.
