FORMER NURSE WANTS HER LICENSE
QUESTION:
I was a registered nurse about 20 years ago in Iowa. I blew out a knee and had other health issues ensue from there. Subsequently, I surrendered my license, thinking I would never again work in the nursing field. I have recently considered trying to get my license back and perhaps going into home health or another less physically demanding field of nursing. Would it be something I could do, or would it be more work than it was the first time? It's been nearly 20 years since I surrendered my license. Thank you.
Former Nurse
ASK YOU WORK ANSWERS:
Dear Former Nurse:
We don't know, but we assume you still live in Iowa. Thinking that to be the case, After Fifty Living contacted the Iowa Board of Nursing in Des Moines, Iowa. We were told that re-activation of your RN License requires that you provide evidence of 12 contact hours earned within the previous 12 months of the date of receipt of your reactivation application. We questioned whether this was the case even though you had surrendered your license 20 years ago. We were told this was true even though you had surrendered your license quite a while ago. The Board encourages you to contact them to receive a Reactivation Packet. They can be reached at 515-281-3264, Monday - Friday, 8 - 4:30.
