Washington Enacts Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC)


Gov. Jay Inslee signed the NLC into law on April 21, 2023, making Washington state the 40th jurisdiction to enact the NLC. The compact allows registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPN/VNs) to have one multistate license, with the ability to practice in person or via telehealth, in both their home territory/state and other NLC states.
