  • Rhode Island Enacts Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) | NCSBN

    The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) is a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to provide an organization through which boards of nursing act and counsel together on matters of common interest and concern affecting the public health, safety and welfare, including the development of licensing examinations in nursing. Although the NLC has been enacted in Rhode Island, an implementation process must be completed before its residents will be able to apply for a multistate license, and before nurses in other NLC states who hold a multistate license will be able to practice there. The implementation date has not been set. With the multistate license, nurses are able to provide telehealth nursing services to patients located in NLC states without having to obtain additional licenses. A multistate license facilitates cross-border practice for many types of nurses who routinely practice with patients in other states, including primary care nurses, case managers, transport nurses, school and hospice nurses and many others.

Arizona would be the remote state. Okay. And then the privilege to practice. Privilege to practice is that authority to practice in other Compact states based on your multistate license. All right, so the Compact...why aren't all 50 states in the Compact?

    NCSBN is the vehicle through which nursing regulatory bodies, including boards of nursing (BONs), act and counsel together on matters of common interest and concern affecting public health, safety and welfare. NCSBN has no authority over individual nurses. Individual state BONs regulate and oversee nursing practice in the U.S. by enforcing the nursing laws of their state. BONs uphold their nurse practice acts and are charged with disciplining nurses who violate them. A nurse's practice and behavior is expected to be safe, competent, ethical and in compliance with applicable laws and rules.
