Eight or more years have elapsed since the expiration date of my California RN license. What steps should I follow to renew my license?
If eight or more years have passed following the expiration date of a license and you have not been working as a registered nurse in another state, a licensee is required to pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN). The NCLEX-RN is required to determine current clinical knowledge and fitness to resume the practice of registered nursing. For information on retaking the NCLEX-RN examination, please visit Reinstatement of a Lapsed RN License (8 Years or Longer).
If eight or more years have passed following the expiration date of your license and you do not presently hold a current and active registered nurse license in another state or U.S. territory, you are required to take and pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) before your license can be reinstated. The NCLEX-RN is required to determine current clinical knowledge and fitness to resume the practice of registered nursing. For information on retaking the NCLEX-RN examination, please visit Reinstatement of a Lapsed RN License (8 Years or Longer).
