Licensing Guide
Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact (eNLC) States
The Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact allows any nurse who resides in one of the 34 participating compact states to practice nursing in any of the states forming the compact state alliance. In order to work in a compact state, a nurse must have proof of residence in a compact state as well as a current, active RN license in said state. The nurse does not need to obtain licensure in any of the other participating compact states. For detailed information about the eNLC, click here.

General Nurse Licensing Information
As a travel nurse, obtaining RN licenses in multiple states can open up new opportunities for fulfilling assignments and higher pay rates. Maintaining multiple state nursing licenses is an investment that will give you expansive choices when you are looking for your next travel nurse assignment. States with the highest-paying assignments, like California and New York, can take more than a month to process your application, so the sooner you start the process, the faster you can earn the pay you deserve.
