curious about the compact


Sorry if this question has been answered on a previous thread, but I searched and didn't find it...

I've always thought I knew that you could maintain licenses in multiple states. But I found this, an excerpt from https://www.ncsbn.org/358.htm

"A nurse changing primary state of residence, from one party state to another party state, may continue to practice under the former home state license and multi-state licensure privilege during the processing of the nurse's licensure application in the new home state for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days. (Statutory basis: Articles 4B, 4C, and 4D[1])"

-and-

"The former home state license shall no longer be valid upon the issuance of a new home state license. (Statutory basis: Article 4D[1])"


If you have a compact license and travel to a compact state but do not maintain a tax home, what do you have to do? Can you maintain licenses in multiple states? (For example, if I get what I want, Wisconsin and Colorado?)

Thanks, and happy 4th!

Once you are no longer a resident of the original state, then the compact part of the license no longer exists and the license is valid for only that one state.

Your compact license is gone when you move out of state. That is why you need to notify your BON as soon as you move, for that very reason.
The new state will not issue a compact license if you do not live there, just one valid for that state only.
