The official board
Virginia nursing licensure is regulated by the Virginia Board of Nursing. That is where applications, renewals, endorsement, and official forms live. Requirements and fees are board-set and change, so we point you to the official site rather than list figures that could go stale.

Official vs independent
The Virginia Board of Nursing and Nursys are the authorities — they make decisions and hold the records. CompactStates.com explains how Virginia licensure works and gets you to those sources quickly. We never charge for or monetize official board or Nursys links.
