Compact States
States that have implemented the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). The NLC is an interstate agreement that allows a registered nurse with a multi-state license to practice in any state that has implemented the Compact.

This is your home state, or the state where you declare a primary residence for legal purposes. Only one state can be identified as the primary state of residence for NLC legislation purposes.
Nurses with a primary state of residence in a NLC state can obtain a multi-state license to practice nursing in all NLC states. Multi-state licenses allow travel nurses to practice across state borders easily and temporarily in other NLC states.
Because the licensing procedure can be a bit unpredictable from state to state, we recommend getting a jump on the process ASAP to make sure you’re all set in time for the start of your travel nursing assignment.
