Introducing “Kansas Nursing”: The Kansas Nursing License Verification Skill

The Kansas State Board of Nursing (KSBN), in partnership with the Information Network of Kansas (INK) and the Kansas Information Consortium, LLC (KIC), is proud to announce the launch of “Kansas Nursing,” the Kansas Nursing License Verification skill for your Amazon device.

Kansas Nursing is a first-in-class solution that allows users to quickly and easily look up a license, verify the status of an existing license, or find answers to frequently asked questions. The skill was officially debuted at the KSBN Annual Program Administrators meeting, Sept. 10, 2018.

“KSBN are very excited to announce the launch of our Kansas Nursing Alexa skill. We are the first state nursing board in the nation to offer access to our License Verification database and agency FAQs via virtual assistant. We are committed to remaining at the forefront of technology, in order to bring the most relevant and informative offerings to those we serve.”
