What are the requirements to change licensure status from inactive to active?
Pursuant to the Mississippi Board of Nursing Rules and Regulations, Chapter I, Section 4.6, licensees holding inactive licensure will need to apply for reinstatement of an active license. Upon completion of the reinstatement process, licensure may be conferred if all licensing requirements are met. Any RN or LPN applying to change from inactive to active status must submit evidence of continuing basic nursing competencies when you have not practiced nursing for compensation or performed the function of a RN or LPN in a voluntary capacity with or without compensation with the five (5) year period immediately prior to the application.
