Is there a website to find out about a Revoked license?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hello.

I recently ran into a situation with an individual and I was wondering if there was a website that will post an easy way to find out why someone has lost thier nursing license. I did find one website for around my local area, but it is not easy to search. You must click and go through every individual. I do not know the dates she lost her license, but we were curious if there was such a posting about licensing information.

Thanks for your help.

Or, if you live in Georgia, go to the Secretary of State's Website:

Just go to the BON for your state you do not need a license number just her name and it might narrow down the search if you new what city, street etc. Your license is a matter of public record it should not be too hard to find this info out. Hope this helps

For PA, you have to have a username and password to access the licensure verification feature. I wish all states did this. If you want to see BON actions, you can look through each month (so the public does have access to the info), but you cannot access nurses' personal information. It is nice to see at least one BON protecting nurses' privacy.

No username is necessary ... just click on "License Verification" and enter the last name.

This site lists all licensed professionals, from nurses to realtors to physicians, etc. The licensee's name, city & zip are listed, date of initial licensure in PA, and whether or not there have been any disciplinary actions.

Each state has the means to check the statuses of various licensed personnel, from barbers/cosmetologists to doctors. For some, it's the Dept of Health, others the Board of Nursing/Medicine/ Cosmetology. You will have to find out within YOUR state where this information is made available, but it is out there.
