Nursys verification, QuickConfirm and e-Notify

Nursys services solve different problems. Public lookup, endorsement verification and ongoing monitoring should not be treated as interchangeable.

Which Nursys service should you use?

Use QuickConfirm for public or employer lookup, license verification for state-to-state endorsement transmission, and e-Notify for ongoing status monitoring. Check the state guide for credential-specific exceptions.

QuickConfirmPublic and employer license/discipline lookup
License verificationTransmission to a receiving board for endorsement
e-NotifyOngoing status and expiration notifications
State lookupMay remain the best credential-specific primary source

When state routing differs

Some jurisdictions route RN/LPN/APRN verification through Nursys but use separate systems for nurse aides or other credentials. Other jurisdictions maintain their own registration or license record even when Nursys is accepted for endorsement verification.

Frequently asked questions

What is Nursys QuickConfirm used for?

It supports public and employer license and discipline lookup for participating nursing jurisdictions.

Is Nursys endorsement verification the same as QuickConfirm?

No. Endorsement verification is a separate process used to transmit license information to a receiving board.

What does e-Notify do?

It can provide ongoing notifications about license status, expiration and publicly available discipline for participating records.

Should I still check a state board lookup?

Yes when the state guide identifies a credential-specific primary-source system or when a credential is not covered by Nursys.
