    Epidural replied to ftrrn13's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Epidural replied to zephyr9's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Can't they just confirm your licensure through Nursys.com ? I thought every BON used this site for verification. Apparently not. Just another reason for all of the states to join the NLC. Red tape...

  18. Nurses Flocking Back to Hospitals
