Nurse Licensure Compact
The Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) is an agreement that allows Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurses (LPN/VNs) to hold a multi-state license, permitting them to practice in their home state and other NLC member states.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The NLC is designed to increase access to care while maintaining public protection at the state level. It allows for greater mobility for nurses, meeting the needs of a modern and mobile workforce.
History[edit | edit source]
The NLC was first introduced to address the evolving nature of healthcare delivery, recognizing the need for nurses to have the flexibility to practice across state lines.
Member States[edit | edit source]
As of [Year], [Number] states have enacted the NLC. Each member state has its specific requirements for issuing a multi-state license.
Requirements for Licensure[edit | edit source]
Nurses applying for a multi-state license must meet the uniform licensure requirements (ULRs) set by the NLC.
Impact on Nursing Practice[edit | edit source]
The compact significantly impacts how nursing services are delivered across state lines, especially in telehealth and in times of emergencies or natural disasters.
Legal Considerations[edit | edit source]
Nurses practicing in a compact state are subject to the laws and regulations of the state where the patient is located.
Challenges and Criticisms[edit | edit source]
The NLC has faced challenges and criticisms, particularly regarding standardizing licensure requirements and addressing regulatory differences between states.
Summary[edit | edit source]
The nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) is an agreement that allows mutual recognition (reciprocity) of a nursing license between member U.S. states (compact states). Enacted into law by the participating states, the NLC allows a nurse who is a legal resident of and possesses a nursing license in a compact state (their home state) to practice in any of the other compact states (the remote states) without obtaining additional licensure in the remote states. It applies to both registered and practical nurses and is also referred to as a multi-state license.
