Current Compact States

In 1997, the Delegate Assembly of the NCSBN agreed to endorse a "mutual recognition model" of nursing licensure, to remove barriers, and to increase access to safe nursing care. This is a law that must be passed in each participating state legislature as part of the Nurse Practice Act in that state, and it must be exactly the same in each state ("mutual"). The RN and the LPN/LVN Compact began in 2000, when the first state legislatures (the pioneers were Maryland, North Carolina, and Texas) enacted it as law. Now, if a nurse's legal residence and state of nursing licensure is a participating Compact state (Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, or Wisconsin as of the date of writing, with the Compact pending in Colorado, Kentucky, and New Jersey), the nurse can work in any of those other states on her home state's nursing license, just like she can drive there on her home state's driver's license.
