The Iowa Board of Nursing is pleased to be a member of the nurse licensure compact. This new form of licensure and regulation will better protect the public by:

Allowing competent nurses to provide care both physically and electronically wherever care is needed;
Providing the public ready access to and a choice of qualified nurses;
Protecting clients against incompetent nurses or unsafe nursing care through better communication between boards of nursing, cooperative disciplinary investigations and prompt reporting of disciplinary action;
Benefiting employers of nurses by having a more mobile workforce and a convenient centralized database for verification of licensure credentials.

Understanding the basics

The nurse licensure compact allows a nurse who resides in a compact state to hold ONE license in the nurse’s primary state of residence and practice in all other states in which the compact is in effect. Primary state of residence is where the nurse holds a driver’s license, pays taxes and/or votes.

The compact requires the nurse to practice according to the laws and regulations of the state in which the nurse provides care where the patient is located at the time the care is provided. The practice laws and regulations for many states are available online. Web addresses are listed at the end of this document.

A nurse who is under discipline may be in a monitoring agreement, which restricts practice across state lines.

If you hold a license in a COMPACT state and RESIDE in that COMPACT state, your license is a multistate license which authorizes you to practice in any other compact state.
