How to Transfer a Nursing License to Another State?
Transferring a nursing license between states, also known as licensure by endorsement, involves applying to the new state’s Board of Nursing. Some states participate in the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), which allows nurses to practice in multiple states with one license. For non-compact states, the process may include providing proof of current licensure, passing state-specific exams, and meeting additional state-specific requirements.
