2005 North Carolina Code - General Statutes § 90-171.34. Licensure renewal.

§ 90‑171.34.  Licensure renewal.

Every unencumbered license, except temporary license, issued under this Article shall be renewed for two years.  On or before the date the current license expires, every person who desires to continue to practice nursing shall apply for licensure renewal to the Board on forms furnished by the Board and shall also file the required fee.  The Board shall provide space on the renewal form for the licensee to specify the amount of continuing education received during the renewal period.  Failure to renew the license before the expiration date shall result in automatic forfeiture of the right to practice nursing in North Carolina until such time that the license has been reinstated. (1981, c. 360, s. 1; 1993, c. 198, s. 6.)
