Nursing Licensing Boards

Along with the physical address we have included the boards web address. Simply copy and paste it in to your browser (open a new window or you will leave the NurseSentry site) to visit their site.

You will note many boards will provide you with links to CEU providers, employers and nursing schools.

If you are planning to work in a different province or State, it is advisable to apply for your practice license at least 3 months ahead of your move (if possible).

Paper work often slows down even the best laid plans.
