MISSION OF THE BOARD OF NURSING
The mission of the State Board of Nursing for South Carolina is the protection of public health, safety, and welfare by assuring safe and competent practice of nursing.
This mission is accomplished by assuring safe initial practice as well as continuing competency in the practice of nursing and by promoting nursing excellence in the areas of education and practice. The Board licenses qualified individuals as licensed practical nurses, registered nurses or advanced practice registered nurses. Complaints against nurses are investigated and disciplinary action taken when necessary. Schools of nursing are surveyed and approved to ensure quality education for future nurses.
RENEWAL TIME IS COMING!
License renewal for APRNs, RNs and LPNs for the period May 1, 2016 - April 30, 2018 begins January 28, 2016.
Courtesy renewal notices will be sent by mail to assist you in renewing your license. This notification is not a renewal form. Do not return this notice with a check or money order. The law does not require the Board to send out renewal notices and many of our courtesy notices are returned by the postal service each renewal season. If you do not receive your courtesy renewal notice, you may go to https://eservice.llr.sc.gov/ OnlineRenewals/ to renew on line.
You must have completed and documented your continued competency prior to renewing your license and during the time period of May 1, 2014 - April 30, 2016. The competency requirement and the competency requirement criteria may be found on the Board's website at llr.state.sc.us/pol/nursing/. Do not submit any competency documentation to the Board at this time. Random audits are conducted in an ongoing manner.
