    In a nutshell: The Nurse Licensure Compact authorizes Licensed Practical Nurses and Registered Nurses licensed and residing in a compact state to practice in other compact states without the necessity of obtaining an additional license. The Nurse Licensure Compact facilitates nursing practice among the compact states by requiring the nurse to maintain a license in his/her primary state of residence which grants “multi-state privilege” to practice in other compact states. However, this privilege requires that the nurse practice according to the laws and regulations of each state in which the nurse practices or provides care (i.e., the state in which the patient is located at the time care is rendered), either physically or electronically. Nursing practice is not limited to patient care, and includes all nursing practice as defined by each compact state’s practice laws.

    Help much, or clear as mud?
