Myth 4: Nurses in compact states must apply for the “added feature” of a multistate privilege after the state implements the NLC.
Fact: If a nurse holds a unrestricted license in a compact state and has declared the state as the primary start of residence, the license is a multi state privilege for all who are eligible and is not a separate” added feature” of the application process.
Myth 5: The NLC is about 24 states that have “compacted” together to allow nurses in those states to work without having to get a new license in the other state but always contact the party state board of nursing because they may require “other” paperwork.
