A nurse can hold a home state license in only one state at a time. If a nurse changes permanent residence from one party state to another party state, then the nurse must relinquish licensure in the previous state of residence and apply for licensure in the new home state If a nurse moves to a state that has not enacted or does not recognize the Compact, the previous home state license converts to a Single-State license valid only in the former home state.
A single-state nursing license does not entitle the nurse to practice under multistate privilege in other party states. The compact is enforceable as law and cannot be changed without the consent of all party states. A nurse practicing in a party state will be subject to the nursing practice laws and regulations of that remote party state.
The home state nursing board will then investigate and take appropriate disciplinary action for a violation that occurred in a party state. Administrative procedures according to individual state law, including due process rights of a nurse, will apply to disciplinary proceedings related to violations occurring under a compact license privilege. The shared goal of all US nursing boards is to protect public health and safety through the regulation and monitoring of nursing education and practice.
A coordinated licensure information system called NURSYS promotes ongoing attainment of this goal through access to information on the licensing and disciplinary history of each nurse. Additionally, the Compact promotes the public health and safety by encouraging As more state legislatures enact the Nurse Licensure Compact, the number of party states will increase and the nation will move closer to allowing one home state license to grant a nursing privilege nationwide.
