I know this gets brought up everything year around this time, but damn. $415 yearly to renew my license.
For reference I got my NY state license and it’s less than $100 to renew it and it’s good for 2 years.
Crazy.
Ontario, CANADA I am planning to start a petition against the CNO and their ridiculous fees for new nurses. I just graduated and so far I have paid:
Initial application fee $452
Rex PN fee - $350
Membership fee - $455
So far, I’ve paid 1200 right out of school. I’m broke. I have no money left. I can’t get a job without a license and I cannot pursue any continuing education without a license.
I want to start a petition for CNO to lower their costs and for paid placements.
This is really evil and takes advantage of the recent increased influx of nursing grads. They’re capitalizing and commercializing a career the country desperately needs.
I’m actually so upset I want to cry because I don’t know where I will find the money to pay this.
Please sign and show support!
Includes paid placement and CNO fees waived.
