As nurses across the country battle against staffing shortages, burnout, and an all-time high of demands and strains on the overall healthcare system, little time is left for sifting through new rules and requirements for license renewal!
For Kansas nurses whose licenses expire during a chaotic 2024, a lapse in licensure not only means a potentially big headache dealing with the Kansas Board of Nursing, but also additional fees and continuing nursing education requirements.
That’s why our Nursing CE Central team has a full breakdown of top questions, deadlines, requirements, and consequences of missing your renewal deadline for the 2024 Kansas nursing license renewal period.
If a Kansas nurse misses their renewal deadline, their license will become inactive. Only an active license may be renewed, thus a license reinstatement is required.
Nurses are required to complete 30 contact hours of continuing education every 2 years for the Kansas nursing license renewal.
(Nursing CE Central’s 2024 Updated Renewal Bundle includes all of these required courses.)
