National Nursys database reaches 1 million enrollees

The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) announced this week it has surpassed 1 million enrollees in its Nursys eNotify database. Nursys collects data about licensed nurses from state nursing regulatory bodies and makes the information available to participating Nursys eNotify institutions. They have access to the database to verify nurse licensure, publicly available disciplinary history and practice privileges, and they can receive notifications securely and free of charge. Individual nurses may also self-enroll in e-Notify to receive licensure status reminders and make sure fraudulent licenses or certificates are not being issued in their names.
