We tend to forget about the seasonal maintenance our bodies require to stay healthy. Hibernating comes natural to some of us when fall’s cool temperatures start sneaking in. What doesn’t come so naturally is the transition from winter to spring. We need to take this time to cleanse our bodies of all of the toxins we stored up during the winter and rejuvenate ourselves for the upcoming months. Check out this link as it is a great resource on how to get started on your way to a happier and healthier spring.

• Know the expiration dates of each license. Seems easy, but when you have multiple licenses, it can be difficult to remember when you got each one. Use a reminder system to alert you a few months before the expiration date.
• Keep the contact information for each state’s Board of Nursing, including phone number and web address.
• Notify the Board of Nursing of any address changes. Reminders are sometimes sent so make sure they know where to send them.
• Visit the website for the Board of Nursing in the state that you need. Here, you can see the instructions to renew your licenses. In some instances, this can be done on-line. You can also verify the status of your license.
• Begin the renewal process before your license expires. After your license lapses, it can take much longer to get a new one. Allow 3-4 months.  For example, in one state, if you renew while your license is still active, your renewal is processed in 8 days. Miss the deadline by even 1 day and you are going to wait up to 6 weeks.
• If you are carrying a multi-state license (compact), be sure to verify the state you intend to go to will accept a compact license. If you move out of your primary state, the license will no longer be compact.
• Utilize your Aureus Account Manager. When discussing your next assignment, ask about licensure requirements and time frames. We are here to help!
• Lastly, make sure you have completed the requirements for continuing education. Take advantage of annual CEU reimbursements offered by Aureus!
