How to Reach the Editorial Team
Got a correction, a question, a press request, or a privacy inquiry? You’re in the right place. This page sets out the right channel for each kind of message and what to expect from us in response.
If your license is suspended, your renewal isn’t processing, your CE compliance is being questioned, or you’ve received a board complaint — that’s your state Board of Nursing, not us. We do not issue or renew licenses, do not have access to board systems, and do not represent any state board. The state board’s contact info is on every state page on this site.
boardofnursings.org/ publishes information about nursing licensure regulation. We do not publish clinical guidance or any kind of patient-care advice. If you are looking for clinical reference material, use your employer’s resources. If you are a patient, contact your healthcare provider or call 911 for an emergency.

All inquiries go through one inbox: info@boardofnursings.org. The right subject line gets your message to the right person fastest.

- The page URL on boardofnursings.org/ you're referring to (if relevant)
- The state your question relates to, if it’s state-specific
- What you expected to find or what you think is wrong
- If possible, the link from the state board’s official site that supports the correction
- A contact email so we can reply (we don’t share your email — see our Privacy Policy)
If you can include the link from the state Board of Nursing that contradicts our page, we can verify and update without going through a search ourselves. That cuts the response time roughly in half.

How We Operate
boardofnursings.org/ is a digital-only publication. We don't have a physical office open to the public, do not accept walk-in visitors, and do not publish a postal address for general correspondence. Email is the way to reach us.
What We Won’t Engage With
- Abusive, threatening, or harassing messages — these are not acted on and may be reported to authorities where appropriate
- Bulk SEO outreach, link-insertion requests, and “guest post” pitches that aren’t relevant to nursing licensure
- Requests to remove factual statements about a state board or organization that are accurate and properly sourced
- Requests to remove published board-action records — those are state public records, and the state board is the body that decides what to publish
- Pay-for-coverage offers from CE providers, NCLEX prep services, license-services firms, or staffing agencies — see our Editorial Policy
- Generic marketing emails, sales pitches, and unsolicited proposals not specific to our work
- Patient or clinical questions — we do not and cannot provide clinical advice
