    Issue Modern health care delivery requires that safe and quality care provided by advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) be dynamic and fluid across state boundaries. The 100-year-old model of nursing licensure is not flexible, enough to best meet this need. Solution The Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Compact (APRN Compact) increases access to care, protects patient safety and reduces costs while supporting state-of-the- art health care delivery. The APRN Compact allows for APRNs with 2,080 hours or more of practice to have one multistate license in their home state, with the privilege to practice in other APRN Compact party states without obtaining additional licenses.

    As you know, boards are required to submit a file to Nursys on a daily basis, but when should you contact the Nursys' admin? If you're going to be sending us a large file that's outside your norm, which are basically generally just license updates, contact us at nursysadmin@ncsbn.org at least 24 hours in advance. This way we can prepare to process that file. We get files 24/7. So, when you communicate with us, we're better able to look at our resources and how best to process all the files we have to in a day efficiently. And it also helps us not to overtask our systems.

    We did not have to go to our legislature saying, ‘I need $2 million for a licensing system.’ There would have to be a licensing fee increase to cover that. This is the perfect example of how NCSBN helps boards of nursing.” Brown Louisiana Louisiana The Louisiana State Board of Nursing (LSBN) was one of three pilot NRBs that first deployed the ORBS Renewal module in 2015.
