FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a nursing directory?

A nursing directory is a searchable index of licensed nurses and nursing professionals — RNs, LPNs, NPs, CNMs, and CNSs — organized by credential, specialty, employer, and location so families, employers, and recruiters can find and verify them.

Is the nursing directory free to use?

Yes. Searching the nursing directory and viewing public profile information is free. Nurses can also claim and update their profile at no cost.

How do I verify a nurse listed in the directory?

Use the issuing state board of nursing or Nursys to confirm active licensure. Our directory cross-checks listings on a rolling schedule, but legally binding verification must come from the state board.

Can nurses add themselves to the directory?

Yes. Nurses can submit a profile with credential, specialty, employer, and contact preference. Profiles are reviewed before they go live.
