RN Directory
A national directory of registered nurses in the United States. Search the RN list by name, state, city, specialty, license type, employer, or telehealth availability — and verify licensure through the issuing state board of nursing or Nursys.
An RN directory is a searchable list of registered nurses — the largest licensed nursing credential in the U.S. Healthcare Apex aggregates publicly listed RN profiles into a single directory so patients, families, and employers can find registered nurses by role, specialty, and location. We are a directory, not an official licensing body; for legally binding license verification, use the state board of nursing or Nursys.
Combine the filters below to narrow the RN list to the nurses you need. Every filter can be stacked — for example, ICU RNs in Texas at a specific hospital.
Yes. Search by first name, last name, or known alias. If the RN name search returns several matches, filter by state, specialty, or employer to isolate the correct nurse. Then confirm identity by comparing the license number against the state board of nursing record.
License verification is a primary-source check. Confirm active RN status, expiration date, and any disciplinary history through the state board of nursing that issued the license, or through Nursys QuickConfirm for participating jurisdictions. The RN directory links to state board lookup pages to make this step easy.
Search healthcare professional profiles by name, state, specialty or license type.
