Renewing your Professional License or Certifications

I am a procrastinator; I admit it. To address this, here are some things I do for renewing your professional license or certifications.

In general, I make a lot of to-do lists. I write down when I need to accomplish a task and usually schedule it a week in advance to complete it on time. This helps me stay organized and meet deadlines.

In the area of my professional license and national certifications, I pay special attention to when my nursing license and case management/patient advocate certifications need to be renewed.

Time flies, and it is easy to overlook these dates. You will usually get a notice from the Licensing agency or certification organization when it is time to renew. Still, if you miss it, you could lose your license and certification. To avoid this, I list which certifications and licenses I must renew each year and then review what they require for this cycle.
