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 Mexico
Arkansas	North Carolina
Colorado	North Dakota
Delaware	Rhode Island Effective 7/1/08
Idaho	South Carolina
Kentucky	South Dakota
Maine	Tennessee
Maryland	Texas
Mississippi	Utah
Nebraska	Virginia
New Hampshire	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	Massachusetts For reinstatements only
California	Missouri
District of Columbia	Nebraska
Idaho	New York For reinstatements only
Illinois For reinstatements only	South Carolina Wednesdays only
