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.

Michigan is not a NLC member state. You will need to apply for a Michigan LPN license by endorsement, regardless of whether you hold a compact license in another state.
