State Nurse Aide Registry Contact Information

All 50 states and the District of Columbia have a Nurse Aide Registry, from which nursing facilities, home care agencies, or other places that employ skilled nurses can find data on nurses licensed to practice nursing in that state. The nursing registry is important as it maintains a list of nursing aides who meet federal and state requirements to be a nursing aide. The registry also keeps a list of persons not eligible to work for reasons of abuse, neglect, misappropriation, or any other action that may disqualify them from nursing. The contact information for all 51 registries and links for that state’s registry are below.
