State Affairs
Current Initiatives
NCSBN's current state initiatives are aimed at advancing regulatory policy through direct advocacy. Easily contact your legislators to show your support for each of these initiatives.

Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC)
The NLC allows nurses to have one multistate license with the privilege to practice in other compact states in-person and electronically. The NLC increases access to care while maintaining public protection at the state level.

Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Compact
The APRN Compact allows advanced practice registered nurses to hold one multistate license with the privilege to practice in other compact states in-person and electronically.

NursingAmerica
The NursingAmerica Campaign assists states in aligning APRN regulation and practice with the Consensus Model for APRN Regulation to increase access to safe and quality care for patients.
