A nurse is interested in taking a second job in an adjoining state but does not want to take another licensure examination. A helpful co-worker correctly states,
a. "Check to see if that state is in our Compact."
b. "See if that state will just give you a license."
c. "There's no way around it; you have to take it."
d. "You won't have to take another test."

Many states have enacted the Nurse Multi-State Licensure compact. Nurses in "Compact" states can practice in any state within the compact with a valid license from one of the states.
The state will not just issue a nursing license to someone who asks.
If the states both belong to the Nurse Multi-State Licensure compact, having a license in one state allows practice in any of the other Compact states without taking another exam.
This might be true but not unless the adjoining state belongs to the Compact. The nurse must check to find out.
