A health professional who fails to apply for reinstatement of a District of Columbia practical nursing license within five (5) years after the license expires, and who is not currently licensed to practice practical nursing under the laws of a state or territory of the United States, may apply for licensure to practice practical nursing in the District of Columbia under licensure by re-entry program.
To apply for licensure by re-entry program, an applicant shall:
An application that remains incomplete for ninety (90) days or more from the date of submission shall be considered abandoned, and closed by the Board. The applicant shall thereafter be required to reapply, comply with the current requirements for licensure, and pay the required fees.
Board shall periodically conduct a random audit of its active licensees to determine compliance. The nurses selected for the audit shall provide a completed Continuing Education Compliance Audit Form and all supporting documentation to the Board within ten (10) days of receiving notification of the audit.
