Be Alert Employers! |
|
Due to the increased use of the Internet by consumers, nurses, licensure applicants, and nursing employers, KBN is making more and more information accessible from its website. Consequently, the possibility of the alteration of documents retrieved from the website becomes a distinct possibility. KBN strongly advises employers to review Internet documents carefully and to verify the information. Ask to see the ORIGINAL of the document, license card, temporary work permit, etc. Report the presentation of suspicious licensure documents of any kind to the KBN office immediately!
