Pennsylvania now in the Nurse Compact

Hey all,

I have been an RN for almost 4 years ago and was super stoked when I heard that the governor signed the law for RN's and LPN's to join the national compact.  Finally on July the 7th PA nurses could apply for a multi-state license. They are making applicants get a Pa. state police background check again and also get FBI fingerprinting , again.  Had to send a copy of my drivers license and a signed Pa. residence declaration.

I know that when I finished nursing school I had to get my local state rep involved to , what is the polite way of saying, lighting a fire under the *** of the state to get my ATT letter.

Anyone else started the journey in Pennsylvania to get your Compact license?

So just to add to my original post....

 

    Yesterday July 23rd, 2025, my Pennsylvania single state RN license became a multistate license. 
 

   Didn't take nearly as long as I thought, they opened Pennsylvania nurses to apply for multistate licenses on July 7th 2025 , so two weeks and two days, bravo Pa BON. Something done quickly.
