2 years ago, I wrote about the decision facing me in February 2008 on renewing my Wisconsin Registered Nurse license. It’s now 2010 and the decision faces me yet again, as it does every two years. Since leaving nursing in 2004, I’ve always made the choice to keep up my licensure – because you just never know what the future holds and after all that schooling, I really don’t feel like giving it up any …
