    The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) is a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to provide an organization through which boards of nursing act and counsel together on matters of common interest and concern affecting the public health, safety and welfare, including the development of licensing examinations in nursing. The Executive Committee is the seven-member elected leadership of the ICNLCA. About the NLC The NLC allows for registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPN/VNs) to have one multistate license, with the ability to practice in person or via telehealth in both their home state and other NLC states. There are 38 jurisdictions that are members of the NLC. Licensing standards are aligned in NLC states, so all nurses applying for a multistate license are required to meet the same standards, which include a federal and state criminal background check that will be conducted for all applicants for multistate licensure.

    The BOD Retreat in late October was the initiation of the strategic thinking process to establish goals and objectives to move the organization forward. This strategic thinking process, unlike strategic planning, involves seeing and understanding the bigger picture of the organization, where it needs to go, and how it will get there. The BOD engaged in a strategic thinking session where they looked at NCSBN’s mission, vision and values to ensure that they remain aligned with the organization’s goals and reflect its future strategic direction. This process is designed to instill confidence in our future and the direction we are heading.
