National Council of State Boards of Nursing
Composed of the Boards of Nursing from each state, territory, and the District of Columbia. This group works together on licensing examinations such as the NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN; policy analysis, uniformity of regulation of nursing practice, research, and maintaining the Nurses database with national information on nurse licensure. Their efforts include promoting the adoption of the Consensus Model for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRN) Regulation by all states.
Nurse Licensure Compact
Allows a nurse to practice across state lines (both physically/electronically) unless the nurse is under discipline or restricted from practicing across state lines. To achieve mutual recognition, each state must enter into the NLC. There are currently 24 NLC member states. The compact supersedes state laws and may be amended by all party states agreeing and then changing individual state laws. A separate body of participating state board of nursing administrators is in charge of that state's compact.
