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. Also note if at any time you obtain a NEW state license for a FASTAFF position, we will be happy to reimburse you for it. If you have further questions about our licensing programs, please contact us at 877-912-9478.

Licensing Program Qualifications:

Fastaff wants you to have the option of working in any state across the U.S.!  If you apply for a NEW state license and it is issued within 30 days of starting a Fastaff assignment in that same state – we will reimburse your endorsement fees*!  Start a Fastaff assignment by January 3rd, 2012 to qualify for this offer.

*FASTAFF does not reimburse expenses such as transcripts, CEU’s or associated license verifications. Note Fastaff does not process licenses. However, if you have questions regarding how to become licensed in a specific state please visits our page on Licensing.

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:

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".

Other States (Licensure By Endorsement)

These states have various requirements and are neither a Compact nor a Walk-Through state.
