A nurse is considering relocating to another state to practice nursing. which is the most appropriate action by the nurse to ensure ability to practice in the new state?

Respuesta :

Applying to that state's board of nursing and receiving reciprocal licensure will be the most appropriate action by the nurse to ensure ability to practice in the new state.

The Nursing Licensure Compact, or NLC, is a multistate agreement that allows nurses to apply for a multistate license in their home state.

The compact has 39 LPN and RN reciprocity states participating as of 2021.

Multistate licensing is not a given.

For example, because several states, including Florida and Georgia, joined the compact in 2018, nurses who held a state license in those states prior to 2018 must apply for a multistate license in order to practice in any state that participates in the NLC.

They can then practice nursing in states that have compact licenses without having to obtain additional state licensure.

According to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, LPNs and RNs can obtain multistate licenses, but CNAs cannot.
