What is a Professional License?
A professional license for nursing is a credential that certifies an individual's competence and eligibility to practice nursing in a specific jurisdiction. It is typically granted by a state or provincial nursing regulatory body or board after an individual successfully completes the required education, training, and examination.
How do I upload the information?
When you get to the Licenses page - under "License Type", tap where it says "Select..." to bring up the dropdown menu
2. Once the dropdown menu pops up, you will select your held license type, if you have multiple licenses, go ahead and choose one for now, you'll have the option to add additional licenses later.
3. Once you've chosen your license type, go ahead and fill in your license information, you will need:
Your license number
The state you are licensed in
How long you've held your license
And if your license is a multi-state or compact license
If you have another license you can tap "Add Another License" to add any other licenses you have.
If you don't have anymore licenses, tap "Next" to go to the next step of the application.
*Note - Uploading a professional license is not required for you to continue with your application, however it is highly recommended to upload it here to start claiming shifts faster.*
