Nurse License Compact
The Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) allows a nurse (RN and LPN/VN) to have one compact license in the nurse's primary state of residence (the home state) with authority to practice in person or via telehealth in other compact states (remote states). The nurse must follow the nurse practice act of each state. The mission of the Nurse Licensure Compact is: The Nurse Licensure Compact advances public protection and access to care through the mutual recognition of one state-based license that is enforced locally and recognized nationally.
The Explanation of the Nurse Licensure Compact for Nurses video provides a basic explanation of the Nurse Licensure Compact. Currently, 38 states are members of the Nurse Licensure Compact.
