Connecticut joins nurse licensure compact 

Connecticut has officially implemented the Nurse Licensure Compact, allowing eligible nurses to practice in 43 jurisdictions with one multi-state license.

The compact took effect Oct. 1 in Connecticut, according to an Oct. 6 news release from the National Council of State Boards of Nursing. 

Any registered nurse or licensed practical and vocational nurses who meet relevant criteria will now be able to apply for a single multistate license, which allows them to provide in person and telehealth nursing services in their home state and other NLC states.

Forty-one states, Guam and the Virgin Islands have joined the compact since 2018.
