| Field | Meaning | Risk to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Guam credential type | For Guam, confirm the exact credential among RN, LPN, APRN, CNA; the same person may hold more than one license, approval, certificate or permit. | For Guam, treating an RN result as proof of APRN, assistant, certificate, permit or prescriptive authority. |

| Public discipline or restrictions | Review public orders or restrictions linked by Guam Board of Nurse Examiners, Guam official license verification or Nursys when applicable. | Checking only expiration while ignoring conditions that limit practice. |
