What is the Nurse Licensure Compact? It is an agreement between certain states that allows licensed nurses to practice legally in the participating states.
Sounds great, huh? But it's not that simple.
The NLC
The mutual recognition model of nurse licensure allows a nurse to have one license (in his or her state of residency) and to practice in other states (both physical and electronic), subject to each state's practice law and regulation. Under mutual recognition, a nurse may practice across state lines unless otherwise restricted. This is referred to as a multi-state nurse licensure model, specifically referred to as the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). All states who currently belong to the NLC, also operate the single state licensure model for those nurses who do reside legally in a NLC state or do not qualify for multi-state licensure.
To be able to have a multi-state license, a nurse must legally reside in a NLC state. For questions related to the multistate license or privilege to practice, you should contact the Board of Nursing in your state of residence.
