Licensure portability offers several benefits for both nurses and healthcare systems:
Increased Flexibility: Nurses can more easily relocate or accept temporary assignments in different states, which is particularly beneficial during healthcare crises and emergencies. Cost Efficiency: Nurses avoid the costs and time associated with obtaining multiple licenses. Improved Access to Care: By allowing nurses to fill gaps in care more easily, licensure portability helps address nursing shortages and improve patient access to healthcare services.
