The Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact (eNLC) has transformed nursing mobility across the United States. In the past, practicing in multiple states required applying for and paying separate licensing fees to dozens of individual state boards. Today, a single multi-state compact license permits you to practice in over 40 participating compact jurisdictions without additional paperwork.
Which States Participate in the eNLC?
Over 40 US states and territories participate in the compact, including Texas, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Arizona, North Carolina, Virginia, and Indiana. As long as your primary state of legal residence is a compact state and you graduate from an accredited nursing program with unencumbered background checks, you receive multi-state privileges.
How NursePathway Positions You for Multi-State Practice
Our accredited collegiate partner institutions meet all Uniform Licensure Requirements (ULRs) mandated by the Interstate Commission of Nurse Licensure Compact Administrators (ICNLCA).
Whether you plan to work in hospital staff nursing, travel nursing contracts earning $2,500+ weekly, or remote telehealth nursing, our licensing advisors ensure your initial application is structured for maximum geographic mobility.
Passing the NCLEX in an eNLC state allows you to begin practicing across 40+ states immediately upon license issuance, making travel nursing contracts seamless.
