Concerned about this and other sites

Published

I haven't been around lately and would like to take the time to say "Happy New Year." While browsing the web I came across a website which encourages many in the public to get information on nurses. This is a nationwide database. I entered my name and "with a fee" I could view quite a bit of information on myself. I understand the BRN in many states has this available for many, however, it is limited in the amount of information it discloses. The website is: http://www.choicetrust.com/servlet/com.kx.cs.servlets.CsServlet?usertype=c

I wonder how many other services there are out there. :rotfl: :uhoh21:

Specializes in Medical/Surgical/Maternal and Child.

I tried it and they have nothing on me. Maybe I'm not supposed to exist...LOL

Specializes in Vents, Telemetry, Home Care, Home infusion.

I have a license in three states, only my home state info was listed.

This company is paying for public domain info. Whatever your state board of nursing gives out/has on their state website is the info this company will posess.

For those of you who have FULL ADDRESS listed, it would be prudent to contact your state board of nursing AND legislators to get info changed to only release TOWN. We were quite successful in getting info limited in PA.

Good Luck.

Specializes in ICU, CCU, Trauma, neuro, Geriatrics.

I checked my name and I don't exist. I guess Pennsylvania is not cooperative with releasing information.
