Is there a directory of registered nurses?

A directory of registered nurses organized by state is available at HealthGrades.com. The web site allows browsing by city in some states. It is also possible to narrow the search by insurance provider, specialties, qualifications and gender.

Health insurance subscribers can find nurses on their health insurance plans by using the online search tool provided by their plans or by calling their insurance companies for a list of covered RNs in their areas. To look up or verify the licensing details for a specific nurse, consumers can use the National Council of State Boards of Nursing's search tool at Nursys.com.
