Licensing Announcements

FASTAFF periodically offers licensing programs to help nurses become licensed in certain states. Our programs help nurses, both financially and in saving time, to receive their state license. To ensure you take advantage of FASTAFF’s assistance, be sure to send materials back for processing as quickly as possible, as licensing programs can end abruptly. If you have further questions about our licensing programs, please contact us at 877-912-9478.

  • Paid licensure in one of the following states of your choice: CA, CT, DC, NJ, NY, and OR.

Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) States
The Nurse Licensure Compact allows any nurse who resides in one of the 22 participating compact states to practice nursing in any of the states forming the compact state alliance. In order to work in a compact state, a 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's 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. States participating in the NLC include:

Arizona New Hampshire
Arkansas New Mexico
Colorado North Carolina
Delaware North Dakota
Idaho Rhode Island
Iowa South Carolina
Kentucky South Dakota
Maine Tennessee
Maryland Texas
Mississippi Utah
Missouri Virginia
Nebraska Wisconsin

Walk-Through States
Walk-through states allow a nurse to be issued a temporary license within one hour to one day's time. This temporary license is used to practice nursing while awaiting permanent licensure to be processed. These temporary licenses obtained in walk-through states are usually valid for 30 days to six months depending on the state issuing the license. The following states allow licensure through "walk-through".

Arizona Missouri
District of Columbia Nebraska
Idaho New York
