An RN who practices after license expiration is an illegal practitioner whose license may be revoked or suspended. A license expired 90 days or less renews at the renewal fee plus half the examination fee; more than 90 days but under one year costs all unpaid renewal fees plus the full examination fee (Nursing Practice Act §301.301).Verify with board
