What Challenges Exist in Achieving Full Licensure Portability?
Despite its benefits, full licensure portability faces several challenges:
State Sovereignty: Each state has its own regulations and standards, and some states may be reluctant to cede control over their licensing processes. Variability in Scope of Practice: Differences in the scope of practice and other regulations can complicate the implementation of a unified system. Continuing Education Requirements: States have different requirements for continuing education, which can create barriers for nurses moving between states.
