Licence Renewal Now Open
Licence renewal is now open for all nurses in Nova Scotia!
The licence renewal period opens today, September 4, 2024, and will close on October 31, 2024. To be eligible to practise on November 1, 2024, you must renew your licence before the renewal period ends. We know time passes quickly, so we kindly ask you to consider renewing your licence as soon as possible to help you avoid the last-minute rush.
Please note: The annual renewal process does not apply to you if you are in the expedited process waiting for a licence. It also does not apply to you if you only hold a 4-month conditional licence.
