How Does Licensure Impact Portability?

Licensure plays a significant role in portability. Nurses typically need to be licensed in the state where they practice, which can be a barrier to mobility. However, the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) is an agreement that allows nurses to have one multistate license, enabling them to practice in multiple states without needing additional licenses. This compact enhances portability and makes it easier for nurses to work in different states.
