A nursing license is lapsed if not renewed before expiration; a lapsed licensee may not practice nursing or hold out as a nurse in Missouri. Reinstatement requires an application, the renewal fee plus a $50 penalty for each year of lapse, and fingerprint background checks; a license lapsed 3 or more years may also require a Board appearance and proof of current nursing knowledge.Verify with board
