Delaware is a Nursing License Compact (NLC) State

If you do not have an NLC multistate license but do hold a current, active nursing license in another state, U.S. territory, or the District of Columbia, you can apply for Delaware nurse licensure by endorsement. Nurse applicants must show they meet one of these practice requirements:

  • Graduation from a nursing education program within the past two years that is deemed acceptable by the Delaware Board of Nursing; or
  • At least 1,000 hours of nursing practice during the last five years; or
  • At least 400 hours of nursing practice during the last two years.

Delaware Nursing License Renewal

A Simple Online Process

Nurses can renew their Delaware RN license by completing an online application and paying their renewal fees by credit card. All newly issued RN licenses expire on September 30 of odd years.

 

To renew, you must attest that you have completed the required continuing education (CE) and that you have practiced nursing at least 1,000 hours in the past five years or 400 hours in the past two years. The number of CE hours required depends on when your Delaware license was issued and how you were licensed.
