A lapsed license requires satisfactory evidence of competence and the reinstatement fee; practicing while lapsed is illegal (Va. Code §54.1-3011). Board discipline guidance sets penalties for practice on an expired nursing license: $200 (30 days or less), $400 (31–90 days), $600 (91–180 days), $1,000 (6–12 months), and reprimand plus $1,000 (over one year).Verify with board
