Jennifer,

I am in Florida, we also have a state license. I know that there is a fee to keep up the NBRC credential listing in the book, however I too have never heard of sending your CEUs to the NBRC. I have been CRTT & RRT for quite some time. Also, I have never received this letter. Next time I go to the hospital I am going to ask about this, see if anyone has ever gotten one. If you have your state credentials in order, you should be legal to work.

Out of curiousity I just looked at my NBRC credentials, and there are no expiration dates on the certificates. All licenses that expire must have an expiration date, none do. I was registered for I think about 4 years before the Florida State License was inacted, and during that time there were no CEU requirements at the national level. In addition, none of the seminars I have been to recently required my NBRC registry number, which would be imperative if the NBRC was collecting this information.

I also have CE Broker, and they too only send my CEU info to the state. I have no idea what they do in Illinois, but what you describe is not something I have ever heard of.
