License Renewal/See you May 4,2022
Posted over 3 years ago by Marge Mehas
Hi this is what I found today about nursing license renewal:
[ Q ] Is the Illinois Board of Nursing waiving any renewal requirements this year due to COVID?
[ a ] Yes! According to a March 2022 announcement from the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, the deadline for renewal for professional nurses and advanced practice registered nurses has been moved from May 31, 2022, to August 31, 2022.
Renewal fees have also been reduced to $0, all in part to, “further strengthen the healthcare workforce during the State’s continued battle against the COVID-19 pandemic.”
[ Q ] How can I renew my license? Can I mail in a paper renewal application?
[ a ] Illinois nurses must renew their license online through the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation’s Portal (https://online-dfpr.micropact.com/) once the portal opens on or before July 1, 2022.
The Department typically opens the renewal portal 60-90 days before the renewal deadline.
[ Q ] What are the 2022 CE requirements for renewal?
[ a ] All nurses must complete 20 hours of approved continuing education per each two-year license renewal cycle. While there are several ways to obtain these credit hours, most nurses take traditional continuing education courses.
Of these 20 hours, one hour must fulfill the Nurse Practice Act’s Sexual Harassment training requirement, as well as one hour of Implicit Bias training.
