Tennessee Nursing Licensure Reciprocity

The Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) allows nurses to have one license for nursing that gives them the ability to practice in the state where they current live as well as other states that are part of the compact agreement. Currently there are over 30 states that are a part of the NLC agreement.

As of Spring 2020: Tennessee IS part of the NLC agreement. This means that the RN licensure in Tennessee can transfer to the other states that are a part of the NLC agreement (reciprocity).
