Licensure in Michigan
The Michigan Nurses Association is the professional organization for RNs, not the licensing board. Licensure for RNs and LPNs and certification for Nurse Practitioners, Nurse Midwives and Nurse Anesthetists is done by the Michigan Board of Nursing. The Michigan Board of Nursing is housed within the Michigan Department of Community Health. Some of the information available through the Board of Nursing includes:
Nurse Licensing Forms & Applications

- CE requirements
- Licensing of Canadian nurses
- Nursing exam information - NCLEX
Board of Nursing Administrative Rules
Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools - CGFNS
