Licensed Practical Nurse License in Hawaii
Everything you need to know about getting your LPN license to practice in Hawaii.
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.
Hawaii is not a NLC member state. You will need to apply for a Hawaii LPN license by endorsement, regardless of whether you hold a compact license in another state.
