Nursing licensure and disciplinary statistics for the U.S. and its territories are available on the National Council State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) website—The National Nursing Database. The data is obtained directly from the licensure systems of U.S. boards of nursing (BONs) through Nursys and is updated daily, providing real time nursing licensure and discipline statistics. The information provided is aggregate data; no individual identifying information is available. An interactive licensure map allows users to view, by state, the number of all active licenses, the number of active RN licenses and the number of active LPN/VN licenses.
Per policy, analysis of age data is not shown for categories with only 1-3 individuals.
