State Nursing Boards

Find links to each state's nursing board on American Traveler's State Nursing Boards page.

State nursing boards protect public health and welfare by outlining the standards for safe nursing care. It is the responsibility of individual state nursing boards to issue nursing licenses, provide nursing license verifications, and monitor the nurse practitioner's compliance with state law. Depending on your travel career goals, you may find that you need to apply for one or more new state licenses. We want to help you get where you want to be, which is why American Traveler provides an alphabetized listing of state nursing boards with links to corresponding websites recognized by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.

Registered nurses seeking to work with American Traveler are encouraged to be aware of state nursing board regulatory requirements. Since many of our client facilities are top-ranking hospitals, they often require higher certifications and education than what many state boards of nursing mandate. When the RN already has certifications and education prior to seeking the nursing license, the process is easy.

Whether you are looking to get to the beach in California, hit the hiking trails in Montana, or the ski the slopes in Utah, we want to get you there. The state nursing boards provide essential information, including requirements for applying for new licenses and receiving . Your expert recruiter is also a resource to answer your questions about licensure and much more.
