Each item below is tied to an official source. Missing fields are omitted instead of being guessed or filled with generic advice.
The Tennessee Board of Nursing has designated Nursys as a primary source for verification of Tennessee nursing licenses. For status and discipline in other states, the Board also points to Nursys. A nurse applying to another state, or to Tennessee by endorsement, requests licensure verification through Nursys for a $30 fee paid to Nursys; only for states that do not participate in Nursys does Tennessee use its own endorsement verification request form.
