Urgent Expiring License Question....

If my license expires January 31, 2015... Does that mean:

I can work all day on January 31 ? Or does that mean I need to clock out tonight when the clock strikes midnight?

I go in to work tonight not sure if I can work from 7p-7a or If I'm not good to work that full shift.
Have you at least paid for your license renewal? Your state board may have a grace period, but your specific facility may not. In Michigan you have a 60 day grace period, but my facility does not honor that grace period.

Going to depend on both your BON regulations and your facility's policy. I certainly hope that this will make you not wait until the last minute the next time you need to renew your license.

Most facilities will prevent you from coming into work and working until your license is renewed; working with an expired license is a HUGE risk to the employer and don't want to deal with that liability.

Are you leaving the field upon expiration, or what?-Working without a license is illegal.-Working until 0000hrs and then leaving impositions the facility, patients, and your co-workers.-Call in/get it sorted out.

And I thought *I* was a bad procrastinator!

It means you need to go on the BoN's website and renew your license before reporting to your shift. Why wouldn't you have renewed it already? My next license renewal is Feb 2016 and I already have the majority of the CEUs I need for that renewal.
