Kentucky Board of Nursing Licensure and Registration Policies

The Kentucky Board of Nursing (KBN) Credentials Branch is responsible for licensing practical nurses and registered nurses.  Applicants for nursing licensure are required by the KBN to report all misdemeanors and felony convictions, and to undergo a criminal background check, which is part of the licensure process.  Questions about this policy and the process involved must be directed to the KBN.

Please visit the KBN Web-page at http://kbn.ky.gov/default.htm to access the most current information on Applications for Licensure and Registration.  You may also contact them at:
