How do I contact the Vermont board of nursing?

Use the official Vermont Board of Nursing website (sos.vermont.gov/nursing) for current contact details, applications, and forms. We link to the official site rather than republishing contact details that change.

Does Vermont use Nursys for license verification?

Nursys QuickConfirm is the national verification system and covers RN and LPN/LVN licenses for participating boards. For anything Nursys does not show, or to confirm official requirements, use the Vermont Board of Nursing directly.

Is Vermont a compact (NLC) state?

Yes. Vermont's Nurse Licensure Compact status determines whether the board issues multistate licenses to residents. See the Vermont compact status page for the full breakdown.
