I’m sorry you were unable to renew your license. I have maintained my RN license in the state which I was first licensed.
I was wondering if you would consider exchanging links? Thanks

I chose to renew mine as inactive and it was a really hard decision to make even though I knew I was leaving the profession. And still every year when I get my new license in a different color, it feels weird. I still think of myself as an RN, just not a practicing one. Maybe I’ll say I took early retirement from nursing. :)

I believe in none of the above. Once a nurse, always a nurse.
And I’m sure there has to be someone you can contact or connect to some channels of information that could assist you with reinstating your RN.
Best of luck my fellow nurse.

As a nurse with a mental illness, I worry all the time about the time when I will finally have to use my long-term disability and stop working. My recent hospitalization scared the hell out of me–so much of my identity is tied up in being a nurse. I truly feel for you, and wish I had something more profound to say…

Annie,
As a working RN with well-controlled epilepsy -at the moment- I feel for you, I live with the knowledge that one day that may change, and I will no longer be able to be an RN! I wish I had writing skills to fall back on. I too,I guess would want to keep my license current, even if I couldn’t use it.
Maybe I should start looking into a 2nd profession,but this is all I know,
