What Nurse Leaders Need to Know Unlocking Access to Nursing Care Across the Nation Introduction The Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) allows a nurse (registered nurses [RNs] and licensed practical/vocational nurses [LPN/VNs]) to hold one multistate license in the primary state of residence (the home state) and to practice in-person or telephonically in other compact states (remote states), while subject to each state’s practice and discipline laws. Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) are not included in the NLC.

“If a nurse changes primary state of residence by moving between two party states, the nurse must apply for licensure in the new home state, and the multistate license issued by the prior home state will be deactivated in accordance with applicable rules adopted by the Commission. 1. The nurse may apply for licensure in advance of a change in primary state of residence. 2. A multistate license shall not be issued by the new home until the nurse provides satisfactory evidence of a change in primary state of residence to the new home state and satisfies all applicable requirements to obtain a multistate license from the new home state.”

It is common for patients to travel across state lines for health care. Nurses often provide care across state borders both physically and electronically. The single state license model (one license for every state in which the nurse practices) is not economical for nurses or employers. The current system limits mobility of nurses and access to care for patients.

Unlocking Access to Nursing Care Across the Nation Issue Modern health care delivery requires that nursing care, today and in the future, be dynamic and fluid across state boundaries, but the 100 year-old model of nurse licensure is not flexible, adaptable nor nimble enough to best meet this need. Solution The Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) increases access to care, protects patient safety and reduces costs while supporting state-of-the-art health care delivery – for today and in the future. The NLC allows for registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPN/VNs) to have one multistate license, with the privilege to practice in their home state and other NLC states without obtaining additional licenses.

Two Compacts Compared Driver’s License Compact vs. the Nurse Compact 1. Issued in your primary state of residence. 2. When driving in other states, you must know and obey that state’s laws (rules of the road). 3. While driving in other states, if you violate the state’s law, the state can remove your driving privileges in that state. 4. When you change your primary state of residence (relocate) to another compact state, you need to apply for that state’s driver’s license.
