Data
The data presented here were obtained from the Michigan Bureau of Professional Licensing and include all nurses who were registered to practice in Michigan. Historically, Michigan nurses were required to renew their license every two years no later than March 31st of the year their license expires. As such, each dataset included a cohort of nurses with newly renewed licenses and a cohort of nurses with licenses that are a year old. It is important to note that each dataset includes nurses who may not choose to renew their license when it expires. After renewal in March 2019, the renewal date will change to the initial licensure date. Anyone applying for licensure since 2017 has their initial licensure date as the renewal date.

Data are organized below such that trend data are presented first, followed by detailed maps and figures depicting the distributions by state and age for each licensure dataset.
