Georgia a compact state NOW??

Published

I know the bill has been signed, and the map of compact states shows that Georgia is but I'm confused on the wording. I am licensed in Tennessee and moved to Georgia Sept 2016. I don't have a Georgia license but I want to get a job in Georgia. Someone help please.....

If your legal residence is now in Georgia, your TN license is now only good in TN. A compact license can only be held in the state in which you reside. If you want to work in GA, you need a GA license.

And are you sure it's a done deal? GA isn't showing on the map of compact states as a participating state.

This is the map I found that shows it is. I think if you hover over GA the wording is different than TN

NCSBN is the site you should be using as that's the organization that maintains the accurate list of NLC participating states. You must be a legal resident of the NLC state to have compact privileged. GA is not a compact state. VA & MD are. I know a VA nurse that needed to do work in GA and was required to endorse to GA to accept the project.
