The Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact: Important Information for Nurse Executives

Since 2000, licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and registered nurses (RNs) in the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) states have enjoyed the advantage of a multistate license. Under the NLC, an eligible nurse with primary state of residence in a compact state is able to hold 1 multistate license issued by the home state, granting the nurse the authority to practice in any of the 25 NLC states in person or via telehealth.
