<\/span><\/h3>\nBecause CRNA<\/strong> is typically an APRN<\/strong> role, capture both layers when available. Some states split RN and APRN verification into separate pages\u2014verify both when the portal separates them.<\/p>\n\n- RN license status<\/strong> (active\/inactive\/expired as displayed)<\/li>\n
- RN expiration<\/strong> (exact date shown)<\/li>\n
- APRN authorization status<\/strong> and role\/type<\/strong> (look for CRNA or the state\u2019s equivalent role label)<\/li>\n
- APRN expiration<\/strong> (if shown)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If the portal only shows one layer, log what\u2019s available and note \u201cAPRN layer not displayed in portal\u201d so your credentialing teammate knows what follow-up is needed.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Step 4: Check discipline and restrictions (log, don\u2019t interpret)<\/span><\/h3>\nMost BON portals show whether there\u2019s public discipline. Log exactly what the portal displays (status, dates, and any linked documents). Route it for review; don\u2019t summarize or advise.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Step 5: Store proof and make it reproducible<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Save the verification source URL<\/strong> (the page you used).<\/li>\n
- Record a verified timestamp<\/strong> (date\/time you performed the lookup).<\/li>\n
- Store a verification note per your policy (link, PDF, or internal note).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Step 6: When the portal is down or you get \u201cno results\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\nUse this decision path to avoid wasting cycles:<\/p>\n
\n- Confirm the state and the exact name on the license (ask the candidate if needed).<\/li>\n
- Retry with license number(s) instead of name search.<\/li>\n
- Try RN search first, then APRN\/advanced practice search (if the portal separates them).<\/li>\n
- If name search fails, try a prior\/maiden name if the candidate confirms it.<\/li>\n
- If the name includes a suffix or hyphenation, try the candidate-confirmed variant (for example, with\/without a hyphen or suffix).<\/li>\n
- If still no record, log \u201cno record found in portal at [timestamp]\u201d and assign a follow-up task to credentialing for alternate verification steps.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
<\/span>Diagnostic Table:<\/span><\/h2>\nUse this to diagnose what you\u2019re actually verifying in the BON portal and what to do when the record is incomplete.<\/p>\n
