What to know about Black Registered Nurse (specialty) care
Registered nurses with specialty certification, including certified diabetes educators (CDCES), wound-care nurses (CWOCN), lactation consultants (IBCLCs), and oncology nurses (OCNs), provide deep expertise in their niche. RNs spend more time with patients than any other provider type and often anchor long-term chronic disease management. The National Black Nurses Association estimates about 10 percent of U.S. RNs are Black, higher than most clinical professions.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a Black Registered Nurse in the US?
Use the search and filter tools on this page to browse Black Registered Nurses in the US. You can filter by distance from a ZIP code, by telehealth, and by whether the Registered Nurse has confirmed they are accepting new patients. If the list is short, consider virtual options as many Black Registered Nurses serve patients statewide or nationwide.
Are there virtual or telehealth Black Registered Nurses serving the US?
Yes. Many Black Registered Nurses offer telehealth appointments in addition to or instead of in-person visits. Use the telehealth filter on this page to see providers who offer virtual care, which can expand your options significantly if local availability is limited.
Why does seeing a Black Registered Nurse matter?
Research consistently shows that racial concordance between patients and their care team is associated with better communication, greater trust, and improved health outcomes. Patients who share a racial or cultural background with their Registered Nurse often report feeling more understood and are more likely to follow through on care plans.
What should I ask a Registered Nurse before working with them?
Ask whether they are accepting new patients, what insurance they accept, and whether they offer telehealth or in-person visits. It is also worth asking about their experience with conditions relevant to you, their communication style, and how they handle after-hours questions or urgent concerns.
Do Black Registered Nurses in the US accept insurance or Medicaid?
This directory does not yet record which insurance plans each Registered Nurse accepts, so the listings here cannot tell you. Contact the Registered Nurse directly to confirm your specific plan, including Medicaid or Medicare, is accepted before scheduling.
Is a Black provider the same as an African American provider on this directory?
Yes. Black Health uses Black and African American interchangeably to describe the same population of providers and patients, matching how people commonly search and self-identify. Both terms point to the same providers on this page.
