Nursing License Renewal question...

I have been an unemployed LPN for nearly 3 years. I have continued to renew my nursing license though because I am still looking for a nursing job. During an interview today I was asked if I needed to do continuing education or the like in order to qualify for renewal since I have been out of practice for so long. I told him no and he was surprised. Then I started wondering about it. Whenever my license has been up for renewal I get a postcard in the mail and follow the instructions, send in my check and I'm renewed for another 2 years. No mention of whether I am practicing or not. Does anyone know the deal? I know a potential employer may require a nursing refresher course but I don't know if the state licensing board does. Hmmm.
Depends on your state. Check your BON and it should state what the requirements are. And even then, you only submit your proof of CEUs if you are chosen for an audit.

Here is a list of the different state BONs and their CEU requirements. Not every state requires CEUs upon licensure renewal.http://www.nursetogether.com/tabid/1...Education.aspx

Thanks for that link, I checked and my state does not require continuing education hours or any other requirements for renewal. Thanks again.
