nursing license

Healthcare practice permit

A nursing license is official authorization from a government body permitting someone to practice nursing.

Licenses require completing an accredited program and passing standardized examinations.

They must typically be renewed periodically and can be revoked for misconduct: She lost her nursing license after the investigation.

Requirements vary by jurisdiction, with most U.S. states distinguishing between licensed practical nurses (LPN) and registered nurses (RN).
