Licensing is a legal endorsement awarded by a competetent authority within the state that grants permissions to individuals to practice in a given profession. (eg. R.N , R.M, A.N.M., H.V. )
The individuals seeking license must have demonstrated an essential amount of competency necessary to perform a unique scope of practice prior to receiving the license. (eg. Diploma / B.Sc(N) Degree from University/Board received through recognised nursing institutions)

Concepts of License
Multi-State Nursing LicensureThe Issue• Nurse Licensure rules and regulations were formed when
nursing was practiced primarily within the boundaries of one or two states.
• With the development of managed care, tele-health and mobile populations, nurses are frequently required to work with patients who travel or reside across multiple state lines.
• Unlike driver’s licenses, many state nursing licenses are not
recognized by other states.
• When applying for endorsement into another state. Nurses can verify their licenses by completing the verification process by paying stipulated fee as per license type, per each nursing council where the nurse is applying.
• The nurse’s license verification is available immediately to the endorsing nursing council.
Viol Violations ationsViolations
Violations of nurse licensure and other laws regulating the practice of nursing
may result in injury or harm to the public.
SUSPENDED
DuplicationDuplication
• The current system of duplicative licensure for nurses practicing in multiple states is cumbersome and redundant to both nurses and states.
Advantages
• Verify nurse's licensure details • Enter and review disciplinary actions • Identify licenses from all States she has
obtained • Enhance communication between member
concils • Retrieve discipline and various other reports
