What each status means
- Active
- The license is current and in good standing. This is what you want to see before a nurse cares for you or your family.
- Expired or inactive
- The license has lapsed or was placed on inactive status. The nurse cannot practice on it until it is renewed or reactivated.
- Suspended or revoked
- The board has taken disciplinary action. The nurse is not authorized to practice, and the action is on the public record.
Verifying a Connecticut nurse
- Licensing authority
- Nurses in Connecticut are licensed by the Department of Public Health through its Board of Examiners for Nursing, and the credential is published through the state's single eLicense system.
- Credential number
- A Connecticut nurse's credential number from the state's eLicense system. Connecticut files a registered nurse under credential type 10, a licensed practical nurse under 11, and an advanced practice registered nurse under 12, and the number repeats across those types, so you pick the credential first and then enter its number.
- Renewal
- Each Connecticut nursing record shows an issue date and an expiration date, and while the license is in force the status reads ACTIVE with the reason CURRENT.
- Disciplinary history
- Public. Connecticut's eLicense system shows the status together with a reason, and it can read ACTIVE with the reason SUSPENDED - MAY NOT PRACTICE, so a license that looks active can still be one the state has acted against; revoked and surrendered credentials show there too.
Common questions
How do I know a Connecticut nurse is really licensed?
Find them by credential number on the Connecticut Department of Public Health, Board of Examiners for Nursing's record with an active status. A nurse who cannot be found on the state's record is not licensed in Connecticut, whatever a website says.
What does an expired or inactive license mean?
The license is on file but not current, so the nurse cannot practice on it until it is renewed or reactivated. The record shows the expiration date.
Can I see if a Connecticut nurse has been disciplined?
Public. Connecticut's eLicense system shows the status together with a reason, and it can read ACTIVE with the reason SUSPENDED - MAY NOT PRACTICE, so a license that looks active can still be one the state has acted against; revoked and surrendered credentials show there too.
