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.
1. What are the 2024 continuing nursing education (CNE) requirements for renewal?
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.)
2. Is Nursing CE Central a Kansas Board of Nursing-approved provider?
Yes! Courses from Nursing CE Central are approved and accepted by the Kansas Board of Nursing.
3. How can I renew my license?
You can renew your license online at the KSBN Portal.
4. What happens if I don’t renew my license before its current expiration date?
Your license will expire the last day of the month you were born, and you cannot practice in the state of Kansas.
5. How can I get my license active again?
To reinstate an expired license, nurses must fill out a Reinstatement Application on KSBN Portal submit proof of completed CEUs and pay the required reinstatement fees.
Application for reinstatement of license without temporary permit $150.00
Application for reinstatement of license with temporary permit $150.00
6. What do I need to have ready when starting my Kansas nursing license renewal?
Most nurses will only need to have fulfilled their required 30 hours of continuing nursing education and have a valid method of payment ready, to complete their renewal through the online, Kansas Nursing License Portal.
7. How can I check that my renewal is complete?
You can check the status of your application anytime on the KSBN Portal.
8. Do I have to keep documentation proving that I completed my 2024 CNE requirements for renewal?
Yes! Each nurse is responsible for keeping individual records of continuing education completion, in case the Kansas Board of Nursing requests them. Nursing CE Central suggests keeping these records for a minimum of three years, should a nurse be selected for an audit.
