I had the same problem

This is ridiculous! I'm late renewing my LPN license, because no one will answer a phone, and their webpage is so complicated you want to tear your hair out! No wonder they were rated one of the worst nursing boards in the country.

Reciprocation is the key, not testing

I applied in june did everything they asked and still have heard nothing. Cant get ahold of a real person to know what to do next

Pond?

What do I have to do. To get my LPN License reactivate. . I did not put it on inactive status.

Who would want a nurse that had stolen patient's drugs?

Most or all meds come in a pharmacy filled container that describes color, shape, if there's a number or sign on a pill. When families or residents bring those kind of meds, I look for description, or call pharmacy. There are apps out there that allow you to take pic of drug and it's identified by the number on them.

try the application process. it should tell you what you need

You need a physicians order definitely,

You can test in any state as long as you designate your results be sent to Ohio and have applied for licensure by examination in Ohio, otherwise you will need to test first, pass, and then apply for licensure via endorsement. (RN)

24 with 1 of those hours being Nursing Law and Rules in Ohio. You have to have these completed by October 31,2018.

I had to pay $30....

If its missed counted that will fall on the nurses license. This should be no and also you need to look at the facility policies and guidelines for the RA. You both could get fired for this not just one. If I was the RA I would count them for the nurse and tell the nurse you are not able to do that task. If I was the nurse I would never ask an unlicensed person to verify my meds.

I would call summit county job family services u can independent providers

Thank you so much! At my facility…the nurses, which are mostly LPN’s are forced to act as the supervisor for the entire facility even so, we have not been promoted to that position nor do they offer any incentive/compensation. Also as I shared, we are forced to take 2 units, which are completely in separate areas because the on-call managers does not want to give up their day off. Last question….can they terminate me if I refuse to accept 2 units/2 different areas or act as supervisor?

You can go to the Ohio board of nursing website at nursing.ohio.gov under the Licensing, Certification & CE tab there you will find links to instruct you.

On the website.

Hi can you please guide me on how to access and do the CES,fingerprints,FBI,BCI BACKGROUND CHECK.AM CURRENTLY IN CANADA though licensed in massachusetts For the $75 the website says to pay it immediately after meeting the other requirements otherwise your application will remain in a"pending state.thanks

Did you ever get an answer for this question?

No Ohio not compact license. You have to get one in Georgia and they have compact license

At this time Ohio will just offer you a temporary license because during COVID-19, the exam centers are closed. You don't have to take the test

If your Ohio PN license has expired, you will have to take extra CEUs to apply for your license renewal. If you have kept up your CEUs and license, just renew like normal.

Frankly speaking... your best bet is to seek help from the organization you intend to work...I believe that each organization has their own required information You might succeed

We went to Columbus and the office is closed till January

Call the Ohio Board of Nursing to find out... You could go to their website and make inquiry.

How long has it been expired

I'm not sure how that works because all I know that you have to renew every 2 years. I'm not sure about your particular situation

The office is closed due to covid-19 don't know what to do but wait

Todd - I am in the same situation. Live in IN have IN RN active license. I did have my OH license but quit working in OH and want to reactivate it. The BON portal is confusing and sending me in circles. I understand the physical BON in OH is closed but you would think there would be someone available to help answer questions. It's a shame! Try calling IN BON and see if they can advise. Good luck!!

Well I have been waiting on my ATT since July still no response from the Ohio BON

They're still working remotely. I was there last week and there was no one in the office. And yes emails are not being responded to.

You have to call them, I can not help you.

I do believe that you can look it up by your name.

Who gave you my number

what does your collaborator say?

Yes you would be required 2 take 24 credit hours to reinstate your license in the state of Ohio 2 hours would have to be in the laws Ohio and they may make you take Pharmacy and some others if your license has lapsed and they may require a background check as well I would call the Board of Nursing or go down to the Board of Nursing on High Street 17 South High Street it is worse a trip to know exactly what you need that's the only way I have tried and tried other ways and they are so busy they don't answer your emails our phone calls the best way is to go down and to speak with someone take down the information you already own as far as CEUs are credits and then ask him what you need to complete for the state of Ohio is the best way to keep from having delays and getting your license reinstated good luck best wishes MaryAnna Brown RN, BSN

You could look at the website and look up you license. It should give you status.

6 months is ok. Problem is when you are off for two years n more

No you just fill out some forms for reactivation. Since you are retiring, you could as well decide to be giving in few hours of voluntary services in a particular institution in a year just to keep your license active. You could use this hrs to write off your taxes

Yes you have to do it online www.nursing.ohio.gov license renewal

Yes you need to change it.

I'm not sure but I also would like to know.

License lookup on the OBN website

Can you share the list?

The nurses would be acting as transport personnel. You wasting your time, nobody is that stupid.

I believe if you are a RN, you are certified for IV infusion. You will need special training and education for chemotherapy and other IV drip medications used in ICU and ER. Check with your hospital or facility policies.

your fsculty should. complete a form and both you and faculty need to review and sign. We had to fill out ours and then faculty signed it.

You have to be IV certified to work with any IV. You will put your license on the line if you administer IV medications and are not IV certified

Shady. I don't think you can without being put out.

24 hours every two years

need to change my address

Really? This should have been covered in your nursing program at school.

Gaining employment at a nursing home is one way to maintain 7.5 work credit hours for STNA. Some assistant living facilities does not require you to have a STNA license and be mindful of those types of facilities. They may not qualify for credit hours maintaining your STNA license. I hope that this was helpful.

Ohio is a noncompact state as well, you would have to apply for licensure in Ohio.

There is a window that they offer 1x a year

I believe the RN's renewal period is on the odd number years. You can find this by checking Ohio Board of Nursing.

Dont bother. If you paid and are waiting for the application to go thru they will get to it. I waited 3 months for my ATT since may. Just sit back and wait. Nothing you do will make it faster.

You'll need to contact the Ohio CNA Registry.

I believe you can only give IV medications thru peripheral lines. PICC lines are considered central lines. You can check on this by looking up the Ohio Board of Nursing and what LPN's can do IV wise.

They send mail to all LPN's. She won't have to renew until 2020.

I would think only another licensed nurse.

Yes. You have to renew it by October 31,2018.

Your ATT will last for 1 year

just send them an email of changes

I would not deactivate or let it lapse, keep it active as you never know when you might need to go back to work.

It expires in October 2019 - every other year

I have been a nurse since 1974. I don't believe I would do that program.Why does it have conditional approval? Did the program meet the conditional approval?? I would not trust the program.

I think it is 6 years.

Yes.

No

No

If said resident is a full code,then yes.

You need to call the OBON. They aren't going to see this question on here.

No to cvc. I don’t know what a hohn’s cath is. As far as I know we can only administer through peripheral IV’s.

It's supposed yes, because she is guilty for a jury of judge yet, everybody is innocent until is found guilty in a court of law

Only if a nurse is counting money with security present to account for amount prior to it being put in the hospital’s safe.

I would not do that. If the site developed cellulitis or any other complication you would not have a leg to stand on.

Yes. If you walk out during a shift without someone to relieve you and assume care of your patients, it is abandonment.

Look it up on The Ohio Board of Nursing website. Both LPN and RN scopes of practice are listed there.

Your application has been denied in 45 days you can reapply and retest
