The North Carolina Board of Nursing no longer issues the wallet size license card or mails notification that your license has been renewed/reinstated.  Instead, please verify your licensure status at NC Board of Nursing home page by selecting Verify License or by using the automated telephone verification system at (919) 881-2272. 

What am I going to show my employer?  They always want to see my license.
