Registered Nurse License
Washington State holds 106,983 active credentials of this type — 19.3% of every active health care credential in the state. Here is what that number is made of, and how to check one.
What kind of credential this is
A Registered Nurse License is a License — the broadest of Washington’s credentials. Where the state licenses a profession, it is generally unlawful to practise it without holding one, and the holder answers to the Department for how they practise.
That word is not a formality. Washington issues 304,441 active credentials in this form across the state, and it decides what the holder may do without someone else’s supervision. How a license differs from the others.
When these credentials expire
Washington renews on the holder’s birthday, so these 106,983 expiry dates are spread right across the calendar rather than falling together. By year:
| Expires in | Active credentials | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 1 | 0.0% |
| 2024 | 1 | 0.0% |
| 2026 | 31,488 | 29.4% |
| 2027 | 75,483 | 70.6% |
| 2028 | 4 | 0.0% |
Continuing education
The Department records a continuing-education due date for 106,938 of these 106,983 credentials (100.0%). Where it is absent, that does not mean no hours are owed — it means this file does not carry the date.
| Hours due by | Active credentials | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1991 | 1 | 0.0% |
| 1992 | 2 | 0.0% |
| 1999 | 3 | 0.0% |
| 2000 | 3 | 0.0% |
| 2001 | 3 | 0.0% |
How long these holders have been credentialled
The oldest Registered Nurse License credential still active in Washington was first issued in 1957. 19,345 of the 106,983 were issued in 2024 or later — 18.1% of the profession is that new.
| First issued in | Active credentials | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 5,787 | 5.4% |
| 2025 | 7,283 | 6.8% |
| 2024 | 6,275 | 5.9% |
| 2023 | 6,559 | 6.1% |
| 2022 | 6,378 | 6.0% |
| 2021 | 5,825 | 5.4% |
| 2020 | 4,685 | 4.4% |
| 2019 | 4,445 | 4.2% |
| 2018 | 4,284 | 4.0% |
| 2017 | 4,290 | 4.0% |
| 2016 | 4,031 | 3.8% |
| 2015 | 3,658 | 3.4% |
The disciplinary flag
173 of the 106,983 active credentials of this type carry a disciplinary flag in the Department’s file — 0.2% — and 195 carry one marked pending.
This site publishes that count and no more: never who. The reason is not discretion, it is accuracy — the published file carries a yes/no flag and nothing else: no reason, no date, no case number. Naming someone on the strength of it would publish a suspicion rather than a fact. Every credential counted here is active. Why the line is drawn there.
Do not let the date pass
106,983 credentials of this type are active in Washington. Washington renews most of them on the holder’s birthday, every year or every two years, and continuing-education hours have to be done before that date — not after. Leave your details and we will tell you when yours is close, and pass your request for continuing-education hours to providers who teach for this credential.
We take no commission and we vouch for no training provider. We have no arrangement with any provider today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. What we do with this.
