Licensing Agency

Michigan issues nursing licenses through the Board of Nursing and enforces education clinical training and continuing competence requirements. Employers commonly require state licensure national certification for specialty roles and documented competency for advanced procedures. Advanced practice nurses must hold graduate degrees national certification and state recognition for prescriptive authority.

Continuing Education

License renewal requires continuing education attestation and documentation of continuing competence. Nurses typically maintain national certification and participate in employer provided continuing education and QA programs. Health systems provide structured continuing education simulation and quality improvement activities.
