    Abstract

    Maintaining the concept of states rights, boards of nursing responded to the need for removal of barriers in meeting nursing manpower needs. One mechanism to accomplish this end was the development of the Nurse Licensure Compact, a multistate nurse license structured in much the same way as driver's license compacts. Representatives of State Boards of Nursing developed model compact structure and rules which allow nurses licensed in their state of residence to practice in other participating states without having to obtain additional licenses. Monitoring of nurse licensure and disciplinary information is facilitated through Nursys (nurse system). Nurses, nurse administrators, and the public benefit from the experiences of the 23 states that have implemented the Nurse Licensure Compact.
