The Kansas State Board of Nursing’s “Kansas Nursing” site was recently recognized as a Horizon Interactive Award “Bronze” winner in the category of government agency websites. The Horizon Interactive Awards are an international competition recognizing excellence in interactive media production.

The “Kansas Nursing” site was launched on Sep. 10, 2018, as a collaboration between the Kansas State Board of Nursing (KSBN), the Information Network of Kansas (INK), and the Kansas Information Consortium, LLC (KIC). The site was created as part of a multimedia campaign to drive awareness of “Kansas Nursing,” KSBN’s first-in-class Alexa skill for Kansas Nursing License Verification.

KSBN are thrilled to be recognized as a Horizon Interactive Award winner amongst government website. The integrated media campaign for the “Kansas Nursing” skill has provided KSBN with an invaluable springboard to help us launch our license verification skill. KSBN’s public awareness campaign to help educate both constituents and other nursing boards on the solution benefits greatly from the interactive site and media created by KIC.
