North Dakota Board of Nursing (NDBON) has been made aware that some individuals have received telephone calls from persons falsely claiming to be NDBON staff or law enforcement.

These scam phone calls have “spoofed” NDBON telephone numbers, and therefore appear to originate from NDBON.  We have been told that the tone of these calls may be hostile, and in some cases scammers have falsely claimed that a specific action is needed to prevent a nursing license from becoming suspended. We understand that these incidents are similar to recent scam calls targeting other organizations.

Please be wary of these scam calls and do not provide personal information over the phone to anyone you do not know or trust.

If you receive a suspicious call about issues with your nursing license, please confirm your license issuance and expiration dates in your Nurse Portal account or use our Verification Portal. You may also reach out to our Compliance Division at compliance@ndbon.org
