FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an RN directory and a nursing directory?
A registered nurse directory focuses specifically on RNs — nurses who hold an active RN license after passing the NCLEX-RN. A broader nursing directory also includes LPNs, NPs, CNMs, and CNSs.
How can I find an RN by name?
Use the search box on this page or visit the Find a Nurse by Name guide. For legally binding verification, look up the RN by name on the issuing state board of nursing or Nursys.
How do I confirm an RN's license is active?
Use the state board of nursing where the RN is licensed. RNs in compact states can also be verified through Nursys QuickConfirm.
Can I find RNs by specialty?
Yes. The directory supports search by specialty (ICU, ER, oncology, home health, case management, and more) and by certification (CCRN, CEN, OCN, CCM, etc.).
