You can satisfy this requirement by completing two items from the following list: providing a copy of a satisfactory employer evaluation, letter from a peer providing a satisfactory evaluation of your nursing performance, letter from a patient or family member giving evidence of a satisfactory nurse/patient relationship, copy of a contract of renewal or re-appointment to a nursing position, written self-evaluation based on the standards of competence listed in the rules, evidence of current national certification, a document that identifies two nursing goals and how you met these goals, a letter from the agency where you volunteered as a nurse, documentation from a school of nursing stating that you participated in the education of nursing students (RNs only), certificate/evidence of five contact hours of continuing education (for RNs/LPNs who are not practicing, ten contact hours will fulfill the competency requirement), copy of a published article relevant to nursing written by the licensee, letter of satisfactory completion of a nursing refresher course, letter of satisfactory completion of a comprehensive nursing orientation program, official transcript (may be student issued).
