Currently to continue your licensure in VA all you have to do is fill in a few answers then submit a check or credit card #.  Yes, you are asked if you are working and if so, full time or part time, but there is no way to insure this is accurate.  As we strive for quality healthcare, we, as registered nurses, have a duty to continue our eduction and familiarize ourselves with evidence-based guidelines to continually improve our performance.  Merely reporting to work every day,  checking the boxes for renewal and sending in a payment just isn't enough.  I applaud the Board of Nursing for taking this step and look forward to the outcome of this process.
