Nurses, did you know the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) maintains a database of all state disciplinary actions? This database, called Licensure QuickConfirm, lists all disciplinary actions from the Florida Board of Nursing and forty-six (46) other state boards. It is frequently used by hospitals and medical groups to screen potential employees.
To search the Licensure QuickConfirm list, click here.
The Boards of Nursing Supply Information to Database.
According to the website, all information listed on the database comes directly from the boards of nursing. A report will contain:
- the nurse’s name, licensed jurisdiction, license type
- license number,
- compact status (single state or multistate),
- license original issue date,
- license expiration date,
- discipline against license, and
- discipline against privilege to practice.
Check Your Profile Immediately for Errors.
If you have recently faced disciplinary action from the Florida Board of Nursing or any other state board of nursing, it is advisable to check this website right away. You must ensure that all information listed under your profile is accurate. The website explicitly states that it is the nurse’s responsibility to contact the board of nursing to update their information.
Our law firm recently identified errors in the database that our client claimed caused him to lose employment opportunities.
