# NurseCred

> NurseCred is a US healthcare credential-management platform where nurses and allied-health professionals own, organize, and share their professional credentials. It stores licenses, certifications, immunizations, and compliance documents in one secure wallet, uses AI to read and track them, sends expiration reminders, and lets a professional share a verified "job-ready" credential packet with employers and recruiters via a secure, expiring link.

Key facts for readers and agents:

- The professional owns their credential data and carries it between jobs; it is not locked to one employer.
- Core capabilities: secure credential wallet, AI document classification & data extraction, license-expiration and CE tracking, role/state requirement (compliance) checks, secure packet sharing with audit trail, public professional portfolios, and license monitoring (Nursys), OIG-exclusion, and NPI verification.
- Audiences: individual healthcare professionals, employers/compliance teams, recruiters, and staffing agencies.
- Surfaces: marketing site and professional/recruiter app at https://www.nursecred.io. NurseCred does not ask for a state board portal username or password.
