I'd love to see a computerized, national database in place that could track where a nurse is working by their license number.
A nursing license is at least as important as a driver's license and that is much more heavily regulated, protected from fraud.
Make it mandatory that each hospital verify a nurse's licensure with the state board before they could work in that facility. That way if "irregularities" were noted, they could be dealt with quickly through appropriate channels.
