Licensure action · March 6, 2019
Nursing license reinstated after a 2018 reciprocal suspension
Virginia Department of Health Professions / Virginia Board of Nursing · LPN 0002-090845 · Cases 190788 / 191516
Role in this record: License holder; reinstatement applicant
Virginia mandatorily suspended the license on October 2, 2018 after an Illinois suspension. The March 6, 2019 Board order records that the Illinois matter concerned unpaid tax liability, the Illinois license was restored on October 16, 2018, and Cook-Belmer notified her NNPS supervisor and stopped practicing after learning of the Virginia suspension. The Board recorded no evidence presented of clinical practice issues in either state.
Documented outcome: On March 6, 2019, the Board reinstated an unrestricted practical-nursing license, valid in Virginia only. It concluded she could resume safe and competent nursing practice. The earlier suspension is historical and is not presented as an active restriction.
These orders document licensing history, not a finding of patient harm or unlicensed practice at NNPS. Employment is established at the order date and separately listed in the August 31, 2026 roster; neither proves employment today. The dated license-lookup observation appears separately in Notes.

Identity match & review date
The 2019 order names Stephanie Cook-Belmer, license 0002-090845, and expressly identifies NNPS employment (page 2, finding 6). The unique existing roster entry is Stephanie Deneen Cook-Belmer, Treatment Nurse (LPN), row 982. The distinctive name, same profession and explicit same employer support the match; the roster does not independently supply a license number. Reviewed October 11, 2026.
