One million nurses now in NCSBN licensure database

A quarter of the nation’s nurses have registered with the National Council of State Boards of Nursing’s Nursys e-Notify Database. The free, online tool permits nurses to receive licensure status updates, create and manage multiple license expiration reminders and keep track of their license verifications for endorsement to boards of nursing. Nurses can enroll and select “as a nurse” to complete the enrollment process. Institutions employing nurses or maintaining a nurse registry can enroll their nurses in the system for institutions. Once registered, institutions can receive automatic licensure, publicly available discipline and practice privileges notifications and the NCSBN ID for nurses they employ. NCSBN news release, 9/18/23)
