Nurseweek subscription??

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I went to the website http://www.nurseweek.com to subscribe since its free. They REQUIRE you to put your RN license number to get the subscription, which was fine until they asked what state you graduated from. Does anyone find this odd? I can't help but feel this raises red flags for me ya know???

Well in California if I know your name, I can get your license number at the BRN web site. It seemed freaky at first(when a co-worker with the same last name and same first intial found mine when she looked up hers!) but I got used to it. Montana looks like it does it to. Wyoming wants the social security number to get the license number and that is freakier since it means your SS number is typed in from anywhere you apply! And if anyone hacks either computer...I would rather they had my name and license number but not my SS!
