The nurse receives a notice that the state board of nursing has become a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact. How would this change in the state board of nursing structure influence the nurse's ability to practice nursing? Select all that apply
A) The nurse can only practice nursing in the residing state.
B) The nurse can practice nursing in other states within the compact.
C) The nurse is accountable to the state in which the nurse and clients reside.
D) The nursing license will become similar to having a driver's license.
E) The nurse has to obtain an additional license.
Answer: B, C, D
The mutual recognition model of nurse licensure allows a nurse to have a single license that confers the privilege to practice in other states that are part of the Nurse Licensure Compact. The nurse is held accountable for following the laws and rules of the state in which the nurse practices or where the client is located. It is similar to the driver's license model: A single license to drive is issued in the state of primary residency, but this license also allows the privilege to drive in other compact states. Multistate licensure privilege means the authority to practice nursing in another state that has signed an interstate compact. It is not an additional license.
