The Texas Board of Nursing will continue normal operations as the State of Texas deals with the COVID-19 outbreak. As we transition some staff working from home and other staff taking care of family and other obligations during this emergency, the possibility exists that license processing times could be longer.

The Board of Nursing will consider extenuating circumstances on a case-by-case basis regarding the completion of continuing competency requirements for licensure renewal during the COVID-19 Disaster Declaration Period. For more information about continuing competency requirements, please visit the Board’s Frequently Asked Questions for Continuing Education & Competency at:

http://www.bon.texas.gov/faq_education_continuing_ed_and_competency.asp

If a licensee needs to request a waiver of continuing competency requirements, please email a request to the following address: Mark.Majek@bon.texas.gov

In the request, include your name, dated of birth and license number. Once received, the BON will allow an online renewal.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this period.
