ANNOUNCEMENT
The New Mexico Board of Nursing has scheduled a system upgrade and ALL online application services will be unavailable from June 11th through June 25th. The Board of Nursing will not be accepting any applications or renewals during this time period. If your license expires June 30th please submit your renewal by June 10.
Background Information: The BON is upgrading to use Optimal Regulatory Board System (ORBS). The New Mexico Board of Nursing is the third state to adopt this system. The online system will be down (off-line) from 6/11/18 to 6/25/18. On 6/25/18, the ORBS will have a soft role out, with full roll out on 6/27/18.
The Board of Nursing and ORBS representatives stated that those affected by this period of down time will be able to renew licenses early (prior to the 30 day window which has previously been in effect). The Board confirmed that registration codes have been provided to those who will be affected. If YOU have a renewal within this window and have not received a registration code, contact your licensing clerk at the Board so that NM RNs can remain proactive and not reactive.
