Licensing Agency

New York issues nursing licenses through the State Board of Nursing and enforces detailed education clinical training and continuing competence requirements. The state enforces federal mammography standards where applicable and regulates facility safety and radioactive materials in clinical settings. Employers commonly require national certification and documented competency for advanced modalities.

Continuing Education

Renewal requires continuing education attestation and compliance with state continuing education rules. Nurses commonly complete modality specific continuing education for critical care emergency and perioperative practice. Large academic centers provide extensive continuing education simulation and quality improvement activities.
