Licensing by State - District of Columbia

District of Columbia is a walk-through state. A temporary license may be obtained within one hour to one day's time and used to practice nursing while applying for a permanent license.View a list of all states that offer walk-through licensure.

While DC is technically not a walk through state, you can quickly obtain a license in this state. Once you are confirmed for an assignment here, the hospital you’ll be working for will complete a Letter of Supervised Practice (LOS) on your behalf. The Board of Nursing will accept this LOS, along with your completed application, and issue your temporary permit that day! Talk to your recruiter about the positions currently available in this state.

To review each state’s qualifications and requirements for licensing, select the appropriate state.

In order to work in a compact state, each nurse must have proof of residence in a compact state in the form of a government issued ID showing an actual street address (current driver license) as well as a current, active RN license in said state. This nurse does not need to obtain licensure in any of the other participating compact states.
