compact license

I have not worked in my initial state of licensure (a compact state) since I began traveling in 2004, but I still have an active license (and I did work there for 6 years at the start of my career). Can I go to a compact state to work now, or is there some rule I am missing? Thank you.

    neither original nor current state of licensure is not the sole determinant in determining whether or not your license grants you multi-state privileges. you must also be a resident of the state from which it was issued. the fact that you have not worked in this state since 2004 should also not be a factor, as long as you have maintained it in good standing.

    for example, i live in and am licensed by north carolina. since i am a resident, my license grants me multi-state privileges. if i were to live in georgia and was licensed in north carolina, then this license would not possess multi-state privileges and would only allow me to work in north carolina.

    if i were to decide to take a travel position to another compact state and maintained my residency in north carolina, then i would be allowed to work using my north carolina license.

    if you were a resident of the compact state when your license was issued, and have maintained residency in that state, then it should have multi-state privileges.

    i noticed that you listed north carolina on your profile. if your original license was issued by north carolina you can use the

    north carolina board of nursing license verification site to determine whether your license grants multi-state privileges or not.
