The original Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) was established in 1998 and is an agreement that allows mutual recognition of a nursing license between 25 member states in the U.S. A new Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact (eNLC) was implemented on January 19, 2018, and applied to 29 states. As of January 2020, there are 32 member states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Nurse Licensure Compact?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Member (party) states allow a nurse with a residence and nursing license in one member state to practice physically, electronically, or via phone in any of the other member states. The requirement to apply for a nursing license in a nurse\u2019s nonresident state is eliminated as long as the nurse does not relocate to that state. This regulation applies to Registered Nurses (RN), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN), and Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVN).
So long as a nurse lives and is licensed in any of the member states, he\/she is eligible to apply for a multi-license to practice in any of the other member states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
