The implementation of the ENLC will become effective Friday, January 9th 2018.

In many cases travel nurses work across state lines, and the Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact (ENLC), led by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN), makes the progression substantially simpler to work travel assignments in affiliate states. New applicants residing in compact states will need to meet 11 uniform licensure requirements. (click here to download Requirements)
