    Notification of Emergency License During Declaration of Emergency

    On April 1, 2020, Governor Sisolak issued an Emergency Directive 011 to temporarily waive licensing requirements. The waiver applies to qualified providers who currently hold a valid US license in good standing in another state. Ineligible providers include those whose licenses have been revoked or voluntarily surrendered as a result of disciplinary proceedings. All individuals wishing to work under this directive must complete this form and return it to the Nevada State Board of Nursing. Please note, this is a waiver of licensure; therefore, you will not be issued a license in Nevada but may practice in Nevada once this form is submitted. You may practice in Nevada under this waiver while Nevada is under a state of emergency only.

Due to the Governor's Stay at Home request November 10th, our offices are closed. Staff will be working remotely to continue to process applications, documents and complaints. You may submit documents or questions regarding your license or application via the message center in your NV nurse portal account. For general questions, you may email them to our general mailbox at nursingboard@nsbn.state.nv.us
