The Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) allows registered nurses and licensed practical nurses who hold licensure in one compact state to practice in any of the other compact states without having to obtain additional licenses. Florida joined the NLC in 2018 following the passage of House Bill 1061 during the 2016 legislative session. Under this compact, nurses holding a multistate license can practice in other NLC states/territories, without obtaining additional licenses. The multistate license is issued by the nursing regulatory body in a nurse’s declared primary state of residence, but is recognized across NLC party state lines, like a driver’s license.
