            ver one year ago, the declared COVID-19 emergency began, and the Spring issue of
            Momentum was ready to go to print. We quickly re-wrote many of the articles to
            address the pandemic. The Board understood from the beginning that nurses are
  vital for patient care and safeguarding public health during the pandemic. At that time, we

  reach staff at the Board. We understand and are working to balance the calls with issuing
  licenses.

  The Board has a total of seven (7) staff who work full-time on licensure work for over 300,000
  licensees. To provide a snapshot of the scope of work from March 1, 2020 to February 26,
  2021, we processed/licensed:

  •   18,081 (96%) RN/LPN applications
  •   2,387 (95%) APRN applications
  •   9,845 (92%) reciprocity applications
  •   1,587 (87%) reinstatement applications

  Although we are issuing more licenses than last year, there remains a high workload of
  applications to complete, and the Board continues to identify ways to streamline processes.

  To streamline the processing of reinstatement/reactivation applications, the Board initiated an
  administrative rule change, effective February 1, 2021, which eliminates staff review of large numbers of
  CE documents accompanying the application, a lengthy review process that caused delays. A review
  process that took hours for each application is now taking 15 minutes. In addition, nurses applying for
  reinstatement/reactivation no longer need to submit CE documents with the application.

  Another innovation scheduled for early March is implementation of an enhancement to the Ohio
  eLicense system so that Program Completion Letters (PCLs) for new graduates can be automatically

uploaded and matched to the application to
reduce the manual work to match the
documents. See the article in this issue of
Momentum about the PCLs which will
streamline licensing by examination.

Based on legislation pending at the time of
this writing, it appears that the issuance of
temporary licenses to individuals who have
not passed the NCLEX will end in the first
half of 2021, and this should eliminate the
one-third increase in workload that we have
experienced since March 2020. This
will allow us to provide more efficient,
timely and responsive innovations
than ever before.

We thank you, as licensees, for your
patience and understanding during
this public health emergency. These are
trying times and we recognize your
role on the front lines of providing care
under difficult circumstances.
