NURSE LICENSE

NCSBN - The National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc., (NCSBN) is a not-for-profit organization whose membership comprises boards of nursing in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and five United States territories – American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marina Islands, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

A nurse can have her license verified on line if the state is part of nursys. The states that are part of nursys are listed below.

Nursys® (Nurse System) is a computer system that contains nurse license and license discipline information that is provided by boards of nursing in the United States and its territories. Nursys® receives regular updates of nurse personal (name, address, etc.) and license information from participating boards of nursing. All boards of nursing, including non-participating boards, have access to information within Nursys®, and are able to enter and edit and discipline information.

Information on licensing changes occasionally, so it is important always to check with the individual state office. Our role is to help you find the right information quickly.

I remember wasting a lot of time looking in the wrong places for travel nurse Hawaii state license information. For example,in Hawaii; the Board responsible for nurse licensing is the PVL Licensing Branch in Honolulu. You can spend a lot of time surfing the web before you know you are in the right place. It also helps to know the time zones. Hawaii is five or six hours behind where we live. This depends on the seasons because we live in Eastern Standard Zone. I needed to plan a convenient time to phone Hawaii’s licensing board.
