What Nursys shows
Nursys QuickConfirm reports the license type (single-state or multistate), current status, and expiration for participating boards. It is the fastest way to confirm whether a license carries compact privilege.
Checking with the Nevada State Board of Nursing
For anything Nursys does not show — or to confirm official requirements — go to the Nevada State Board of Nursing. The board is the authority on Nevada licensure; we do not make licensure determinations.
What a Nevada license can and cannot be
Nevada has never issued multistate licenses, so no Nevada license — however recently issued — carries compact privilege. If a Nursys record for Nevada appears to show anything other than single-state, treat it as a reason to call the Nevada State Board of Nursing rather than a reason to rely on it.
Nevada also publishes its own primary-source lookup: Nevada State Board of Nursing web verification. Where it and Nursys disagree, the issuing board controls.
What trips people up in Nevada: Checking a Nevada license online is free. But asking Nevada to verify a license TO another board is a separate, paid process — a written request with a $25 fee, sent by the board directly to the requesting agency rather than handed to the nurse. If a nurse is moving out of Nevada by endorsement, that request should be started early; it is not something they can print themselves.
RN, LPN/LVN, and APRN
Verification works the same for RN and LPN/VN licenses. APRN authority is separate and verified per state — see APRN and the compact.
