1,2,4,5
Rationale: The nurse cannot legally work as a nurse until his license is renewed, so he should notify his employer and refrain from working until the new license is received. The nurse should notify the board of nursing and arrange for payment of the renewal fee and any late charges. It is not necessary for the nurse to take the NCLEX-PN again in most states unless the license has been expired for an extended period of time (several months).
