Louisiana State Board of Practical Nurse ExaminersWritten communications by the Louisiana State Board of Practical Nurse Examiners (LSBPNE) are mailed to the most recent address on file with the board. By law, licensed practical nurses must notify the board of an address change. Please note, returned mail with the post office forwarding sticker DOES NOT constitute notification by the licensee.
From within your Nurse Portal account, address changes are made in the Manage Profile section. Once you have signed in to your account, choose “Manage Profile”, and next choose “Demographics”. Please note that this application is only for address changes.
You will declare your PSOR (Primary State of Residence) , then scroll down and choose “+Change Address”. Once this option is chosen, change the information to correctly reflect your new address. Please note that you must list your physical address, but can also list separately a mailing address. The system will default to your mailing address, unless the box which is checked is then unchecked by you.
Once the address change is entered, you will then be required to submit an upload of proof of residency if you are declaring Louisiana as your PSOR (Primary State of Residence).
