Missouri Board of Nursing: official resources

Everything official for nursing licensure in Missouri, in one place — the board of nursing, license verification, endorsement, renewal, and compact status, each linking to the authoritative source.

What is the official Missouri board of nursing?

The Missouri State Board of Nursing is the official state authority for nursing licensure in Missouri — it issues and renews licenses, handles licensure by endorsement, and makes every licensure decision. Its website is pr.mo.gov/nursing.asp. Missouri is a Nurse Licensure Compact state, which shapes what the board can issue. Use the board for anything official; use Nursys to verify an individual license. CompactStates.com is an independent guide, not the board.
