Nurse Licensure Compact

The enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact (eNLC) covers both RNs and LPN/VNs, allowing multistate practice in all member states. Your primary state of residence must be a compact state.

Alabama is a NLC member state. If your primary state of residence is also a compact member, you may be able to practice in Alabama under your multistate license or compact privilege without applying for a separate Alabama license.
