Your Virginia RN license expires the last day of your birth month every two years: even years if you were born in an even year, odd if odd.
Your own expiration date is on your license and in the state license lookup.

Every two years, by the last day of your birth month: in even-numbered years if you were born in an even year, odd if odd. The fee is $140, plus $50 if late; an unrenewed license lapses automatically. At every renewal you declare your primary state of residence, and if it is another compact state, you cannot renew the Virginia license.
From the state's rule text, checked November 10, 2026. The rule: "Licensees born in even-numbered years shall renew their licenses by the last day of the birth month in even-numbered years."
