The compact provides nurses who are licensed in NLC states with a multistate license, allowing them to practice in person and via telemedicine in their home state and others that have enacted the NLC, according to a July 10 National Council of State Boards of Nursing news release.

Seven more states are considering enacting the NLC: Hawaii, Oregon, Illinois, Alaska, Massachusetts, New York and Minnesota. The following states and jurisdictions do not have any NLC-related bills pending: Nevada, California, Washington, D.C., Michigan, Connecticut, American Samoa and the Mariana Islands.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
