What is a compact license?

A compact license is new type of license that allows nurses to work in different states without needing to apply for additional state licenses. In January of 2018, the eNLC (Enhanced Nurse Licensing Compact) was implemented and all nurses with an original NLC license are grandfathered into the new compact. For more information, please visit the NCSBN website. 

If your state is not part of the new compact or you want to see if you qualify for an eNLC license, see the requirements here.
